Today is the feeding day of all my snakes however my male is in pre shed phase? his eyes are now milky blue and his skin is very dull should i offer him food today or should i quarantine him until the end of his shed?
 
I would just leave him alone till after he sheds. Most won't take food even if offered while in shed and it won't hurt him to skip a meal. Welcome to the forum!
 
As i didn't get a reply last night i fed him a small 1 gram pinkie today and it was gone in seconds :( hope i haven't hurt him now
 
I'm sure he'll be fine. You should keep an eye out for a regurge just in case for the nxt couple of days. What size food does he usually eat?
 
I have a couple corns that pound back the food while in blue and others that won't go near it! I don't really see an issue in offering when they are in blue! If they take it they take it if not oh well!! The way I see it is if they are hungry they will eat.

P.S. I've never had a snake regurge because they were in blue!
 
We normally advise avoiding feeding when they're blue, but that's the ultra-cautious approach as some do have a regurge issue at that point. However many don't (including all of mine) - yours stands a good chance of being fine.

He will be fine. Like other said, some snakes will eat. My girl eats in any phase of shed, she is an amazing eater.

I fed one of mine and the very next day he shed! I'd completely missed his blue phase! I felt bad but he didn't regurge.
