    Won't make a difference, I was always careful not to feed when a shed was due, one time i missed the signs on one of my childreni, gave her a big feed, 10 mins after finishing she started shedding and she had no dramas. Think its a bigger factor for hatchies but as long as the feed isn't really big or bulky i don't think it will be an issue. Alternatively you can wait and take some good feeding pics with a nice freshly shed snake
