I was always told when the snake is in shed leave it alone. After I joined this forum tho, I noticed lots of pictures of people handling and feeding thier snakes during shed. So I asked the same question and after hearing a lot of people say that they do keep to their feeding schedule, I decided to give it a try. Most of my snakes will continue to feed as normal during their shed cycle, some will pass if they are in full blue, but will eat as soon as they clear up before they shed. I haven't seen any ill effects this may have on their cycle. Hope this helps.
