First off, relax.. Snakes take time to shed and do NOT need to eat every week or 10 days or whatever schedule that you have in your head.
You can try to feed him while in shed, some snakes take and some do not.. But, either way it cannot hurt. Regardless, he will shed in a few days and i assure you that things will be back on track.

I have had snakes take two weeks to go through the entire cycle of shedding before.The same snake took less than a week to shed the next time it went through its shed cycle. It will happen. Just curious, what are your temps like? I think they might take longer to shed if the temps are a little low.
