i don't normally feed my snakes when they're in shed (except for tonight). they can go a while without eating so you should be fine waiting until they've shed :)

Wait 'til after the shed. Can lead to problems when tryin to shed a skin that has become too tight due to food bulge, they'll be ok to eat after that, just stick to your feeding schedule.

Some snakes will eat when they are due to shed some won't. They won't starv in a few days if you want to put it off but most of mine just chow down anyway.

Think about eating a 5 course meal when you are wearing your tightest jeans - not comfortable! xxx
