i'd probably wait until tonight. Snakes are more likely to eat at night rather than during the day.

I would wait a couple of days to make sure it's good and hungry. They seem to need this time after a shed to get back to normal. Like, I wouldn't handle it within a couple days after a shed, either. You won't hurt it if you do, though.
Like others have said, they usually go 2 months between sheds. Biggest things are providing clean water and moist/clean bedding (I use Cypress (not Cedar!) Mulch and try to keep it fairly wet.
