Actually it's the opposite... feed him in his enclosure. It is less stressful on the snake and less chance of you getting bit. 99% of the people on here feed in the snakes everyday enclosure.
As for the uth and thermostat, you have to buy those separate.
If you have to order the thermostat online, get a light dimmer to control the uth until the thermostat comes in.
The thermometer you can get at Walmart
