Snakes usually go 'off their food' during the shedding process, but they may still feed - it depends in the individual. The accepted procedure is to deny them food until they cast off their old skin - when they'll be more than ready for a feed. That technique has worked for me over the 25-plus years I've been keeping reptiles.
