Yet another regurge question

Ok my corn regurged last week, think this was due to me feeding him before I gave him chance to settle in. Anyway I have waited for the recommended time and have gone to feed him tonight only to find he has gone all dull and his eyes clouded over ready to shed.

He wasnt interested in his food so I have left him, my only concern is will he be ok if I leave him now until after he sheds. I must admit the regurge wasnt too bad it was a complete regurge of the mouse and not a nasty smelly one that my other snake presented me with but a regurge never the less.
 
I wouldn't feed in blue for the first time after a regurge. Snakes can easily go weeks if not months without being fed.
 
I would agree you should wait until after shedding. Some people have known feeding in blue to cause a regurge; the snake has already suffered one so you must do everything you can to avoid another (I know you are doing!).

At the same time, the snake cannot be left so long that it gets too weak to eat.

Hopefully the blue phase will be over quickly and the feeding response should be at it's strongest after the shed too. Remember to offer him just a pinkie head at first.
