    I would feed him first, that way he will mostly in his hide when you move him. But that's just my opinion, I dont think it really matters that much and what you decide.

    I'd probably feed first, but it really shouldn't matter too much.
    All of the snakes I moved from tubs on shelves to my melamine rack ate right on schedule, no issues.

    I use some of those stone water bowls flipped over for rocks. They aren't really neccessary, but I use a larger stand alone tubs, and set them up like a tank...

    Good question.

    I use grape vine pieces and add them to the tubs for the shedding snakes. It helps them shed much nicer and they don't struggle so much rubbing the plastic tub.
    I have a few larger water bowls and either swap bowls for added humidity or I push the water back over the belly heat to jack up the humidity.
