Some snakes will eat while in shed, some won't. It's certainly nothing to worry about. I normally try to avoid feeding a snake in shed, but it doesn't seem to cause problems if you do...other than the occasional wasted mouse/rat.

My retic eats like that and my burm did depending on how dark the eyes where. Try warming the food or just wait another couple days, until it clears a little.
