If your temps and humidity are dialed in there's nothing you need to do to assist your animal with the shedding process. Just let her do her thing. There's also no reason to feed your snake outside it's enclosure. The whole cage aggression/mistaking you for food thing is a myth if you ask me. I have (8) snakes and they're all fed in their vivs. However, I do hook train all my snakes so they know they're not being fed when I reach into their enclosures. That makes it really easy to remove them from their vivs or for me to do routine maintenance and spot cleaning. As far as feeding during shed, it's totally up to you, some snakes will eat and others won't. I prefer to wait until after my animals shed to feed them. They're usually pretty hungry post shed. Best wishes with the first shed.
