My Corn is starting to shed or go into blue his eyes are gone grey and ment to feed him today are u ment to feed the corn if he is in blue???? or leave him be??
 
I feed all of mine, they eat regardless, but some don't, if this is the first time you should just try & see what happens.

Marg has given you some good advice-

Just try to feed him like normal but don't sweat it if he doesn't eat.
 
I fed Jasper yesterday and I didn't notice he was in blue until after he ate, lol. It's always worth a try.
Hopefully it works out for you. :)
 
I have so many that don't eat in blue that I just skip them if I know ahead of time. And I have had one snake regurge after being fed while blue, when there was no other reason he should have. Plus, if he doesn't eat, you've wasted a mouse, unless you have a back-up snake. (Last night, Janine, my Florida King, ate _four_ mice that others had refused- luckily, I hadn't fed her her own dinner!)
 
Most of mine eat when blue without any problems. Some refuse occasionally - it's an individual thing.

If yours has eaten and keeps it down (which I'm sure he will), then it's OK to keep feeding him when he's blue. It's another one of those situations where there's no hard-and-fast rule, just whatever works for your Corn.
 
I have always waited until they were done shedding. But like others have said it doesnt hurt to try.

Click to expand...

Two of my babies refused their second pinks at their last feeding because (as I suspected but wasn't sure of at the time) they were just coming into blue. So I fed the extra pinks to Rosalind, my boyfriend's corn...who went blue the next day. Go figure.
 
i have 3 corns, my 2 little ones ( 7 & 8 months) eat while in blue but my other one (18 months but only had her 5 weeks) wont eat while she in blue as soon as shed shed she ate like a trooper so dont panic if he doesnt eat :D
