Shedding/Eating question.

I believe my corn snake is just beginning the shed process. His underbelly scales are turning a faded black although his pupils aren't in the "blue" phase yet.
He is a yearling that is currently eating weanlings once per week. He hasn't eaten for 10 days so if I wait until after he sheds, he will not have had a meal for a period of 17-20 days.
Should I feed now or after he is finished shedding?

I'd wait. Is he active still, or has he gone into hiding? If you can't stand it and have to feed, I'd go small.

It won't hurt him to go without food for that long. Unless you know he already has a history of eating and not regurging while in blue, I would just wait until he sheds.

He's still active.
