Yep lifting his hide is not a problem. If your snake is grumpy and wants to be left alone... he'll let you know lol. I love the name
If he's in an "s" shape, I'd keep your hand back.
Also you mentioned feeding in a different tub... you WILL get bit this way. It is better for the snake and you to feed in his enclosure. It is less stress on the snake, and moving them during feed mode... let's just say I (and many others) wouldn't.
