Blood's typically wont ever eat when there in shed. If I have one thats in shed I just give them the week off. I think we need some more info on your snake before we can really help you out. Such as what type of caging, temps, humidity, weight/length/age of the snake, how long you've had it, what your trying to feed etc.. Usually bloods won't eat because of some sort of enviornmental stressor. If you just got the snake its probably stressed out and doesn't want to eat especially if it just shed. Please post up some more info and hopefully we can give you some advice.
