NOT SURE WHAT TO DO, CORN ABOUT TO SHED

hi guys, my 4 month snake has not pooped and been hidden for a while, i just got his feeding tank out to feed him and he was very still, i see his eyes have gone milky so i gather he is about to shed, do i still get him out to feed or leave him alone, I am worried as i go away for a week Monday and want to feed him before I go away, any suggestions, thanks
 
I'd wait till right before you're about to leave and leave a thawed mouse in his enclosure, if he eats it he eats it, also your snake has likely pooped it's just hard to find it sometimes
 
ok thats a good idea, but worried he could eat a bit of the substrate, sorry i am so new to this and perhaps a bit over cautious, also he is hiding in his cold hide and worry that he should be in the hot one... thank you CarlosI210
 
Well snakes don't really have a nice clean surface to eat on in the wild so they won't really injest much if any substrate, and if they do it more than likely won't cause problems, but if you're worried about it you can do what I do and get a piece of paper put it in the viv and put the mouse on the paper so it isn't on substrate and your snake can eat without fear of putting anything besides food in its mouth

I usually still put him in a different tank and feed him even when it is almost time for him to shed

Lol, he will find it fine, none the less! ;) It won't "set you back" from feed-training him if you feed him occasionally in his viv.

Thank's guys, I just fed him in his feeding tank, he ate it and now back in the viv and curled up in his warm hide, i put some damp moss in his cooler hide, is that the right thing to do ?
