Feed when shedding?
IF the snake allows me to handle it, is it ok to feed him while he is shedding? If not it is no problem, I am just wanting to know if it's safe to do so or not since today would be a day included in his feeding schedule!!

If my snakes are about to shed I still feed them anyways. If they take it they take it if the dont they dont.

It is fine to feed. Many snakes refuse during shed though. Try to feed a few shed cycles you will learn if your snake will eat or not and then feed accordingly in the future.

No harm in offering. Two of my four will eat in shed. I haven't attempted the fourth one yet since I just got her.

Yup, can't hurt to try. Most of mine will usually eat when in shed, just not blue. My bee however, has never missed a meal and will eat completely blue.

Whats the best way to pick him up as he is in blue and I would like to TRY and not get bit although I stuck the tongs in around him and he just moved away so I dont think he will snap....but you never know!

Why are you picking him up? If you are trying to move him, don't. He will probably not eat from being stressed out and moved, and, that's a good way to get bit, messing with snake that's hungry, shedding, and can't see very well. Just feed him in his tank.

I dont do that, I make sure to feed him in a container I have specifically for it!!! I have heard it cuts back on them biting you, and I also heard as long as you don't have the scent of the hairy food they wont do it, but I am just playing it safe!!!
But I guess I can wait till Friday to feed him instead, he did just eat this past Friday!!!
