Should I feed him?

My snake is in the shedding process and it's been about two days since his eyes first got cloudy and the last time I fed him was last Friday and it was a big meal. He always acts hungry but hasn't acted that way at all so I didn't bother feeding him since I read somewhere that you shouldn't feed them when they're going into shed. Am I correct or should I feed him asap?
Thanks

Wait for him to shed, then you can feed him. In nature, the snake wouldn't be out hunting when he was blue- he'd be hiding away. Captive snakes may or may not eat while in shed, but you risk a regurge if you feed them, and it doesn't hurt at all to skip one (or even two, if it's a long blue period) meal.
