shedding/feeding question

I really have searched and found many answers to my questions, but not this one. My first corn snake, Maizy, had its first shed.... It went off appetite at last feeding, . I did not offer her another meal, when i realized that she was pinkish, dull color, and a little more lethargic then usual. as suspected, she has she has shed, except for a tiny bit that has stuck to her "neck". I removed the freely shed skin, and she spent a little while in a humid bath that i provided.

So the question, how long before I can or should offer her a meal, now that she has shed. I just could not find any reference to that in the threads on shedding, or on feeding.I feed around every five to seven days, so that means she has not eaten now for nearly fourteen days.
thank you
 
You can try immediately after. I've noticed that they tend to be more grateful for food after a shed, because they just expended all the energy to slough their old skin, and the food is going to help them regain that energy. Just my personal experience.
