I've read its better for them not to feed during shed,so I've almost always never feed in shedd.Also 1/2 my snakes didn't like to eat frozen thawed anyway all blue eyed, they just weren't interested.

A snake's digestive system doesn't stop because it's in shed-there's no reason it couldn't digest a meal while it's shedding.
The problem is that many snakes WON'T eat while they're in shed. I think over the years, the information that snakes won't eat in shed turned into some folklore about it being bad for them.
