Yes - the sloughing process takes a lot out of a snake in terms of the energy used, and the loss of some vitamins. Most snakes will readily feed a day or so after they shed.

Do ball pythons eyes get clouded when shedding?

Yes, ball pythons' eyes can appear clouded when they are about to shed. This cloudiness is due to a layer of fluid that builds up between the old eye scale and the new one, which temporarily obscures their vision. It typically occurs a few days before shedding begins, and once they shed, their eyes will return to normal clarity.

Why wont Colombian Boa Constrictors eat while they shed?

Not all boas will refuse feed while shedding, but in my experience I notice that some of my boas will go off feed when they are in "Blue" or when their eyes have kind of glassed over as they're getting ready to shed. Being as they don't see as well in blue, may put them off feed.
