Should I feed during shed?

[Gkwon]

My baby BP, has the blue eyes now. Its probably her 3rd or 4th shed. Should I not feed her until her shed is over? Or is it okay?

You can try and feed your snake. She may or may not eat for you. My male BP will not eat when he is in shed.

You can offer food to him. I have 2 Females that will eat no matter what and a some of my snakes will not eat in shed.

Theres a sticky on shedding from daniel1983: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?t=74289

from Daniel1983:
Days 3-7: Opaque or In-blue

This step of the shedding process is the most easily recognizable. The eyes turn a grey/blueish color and the skin becomes very dull and faded. This step is caused by fluid buildup between the new and old skin layers. At this stage of the shedding process, handling or feeding ball pythons is not a recommended action. The opaque eyes may cause the ball python to strike defensively at both you and the prey item. During this time, the ball python is visually impaired and can also become stressed due to excess activity. Imagine yourself being tossed around and having animals running around near you, but you can't see. That could be a stressful situation for any creature. Below are several pictures of my ball pythons in this step of the shedding process. Click on the pictures to enlarge them.

I'm still a new owner so I am just going by that.

I always offer. Most of the time they will take it.
