Yup, that's fine. Some won't eat while in blue, though.

Louise, it can take several days after the eyes clear up before they shed. It really depends on the species of snake. I know you are talking about bci in general and even they have a schedule that is unique to each individual.  |

also, if you just got your snake a week ago, you may want to wait until after it sheds to feed it.
Let it settle down.
Moving on top of ecdysis can be double stress.
It would be better to let the snake get used to its environment and go through its natural shedding process first before introducing another variable like food into the picture.
He/she will be fine waiting another week.
