Shed and feeding? Confused?

Odyn is in shed. He is 75g. He is fully in blue and due to eat tomorrow. I am hearing and reading conflicting info on this. Is it ok to feed in shed or not? I took him out today not even relizing he is in blue and put him right back and filled his water. Tomorrow would be 8 days from last feed. We are switching his feed days so we are extending a day for two weeks. His husbandry is on point. So...to feed or not. He is super chill even in blue!

You can try it, he just might not take it.

no harm in trying, but don't be surprised if you get a refusal. Coffee Bean is the only beep whose ever eaten in full blue for me, but there are plenty of users here that have no problem feeding beeps in shed.

Ok cool. I heard don't do it and I have heard try. I'll try tomorrow.

Most snakes don't eat the whole shed cycle and then are ravenous when they get done shedding.

Khaa has ate for me once when he was in shed but usually he'll refuse until after shedding.

It certainly can't hurt to try. You may just and up wasting a mouse/rat. Unless of course you feed it off to your other snake.
Most BPs will not eat in shed. Tyson is in shed now and due to eat tomorrow, but I'll just wait til after he sheds.

Just goes to show how different are noodles are. Freddy ate while in shed.

Boople has done both. Odyn always eats now lol. Little porker. Some people are adamant to not and others say try. I have heard not too because it could injure them somehow since skin is tight and I'm like what do I do?

Never heard that, but it sounds suspiciously like an urban legend. Two of my snakes are deep in shed and they both ate on Tuesday. The skin that comes off is stretchy too. No biggie if they eat and if they don't, they don't. :)
