I personally avoid handling during shed time as both my BCI girl and my BP girl get kind of cranky during those times and usually spend most of the time in their hides, well my BP is in her hide a lot but my BCI really only uses her hide when shes shedding. I've heard people say handling during blue can screw up the shed but who knows. I mostly don't do it because like I said, both my snakes get kind of cranky then. Since your snake is fairly new, I would say no, you shouldn't handle her during shed. I don't offer food or handle during shed.
