Feed him in his enclosure. There is no reason to move a hungry snake - that is just asking to get tagged, and with ball pythons it can throw them out of food mode. Ask yourself why you need a separate feeding tub when people with 1) large collections, 2) larger snakes, or 3) venomous snakes feed in the enclosure.
He definitely needs some better hides. Until you find something even a loosely crumpled piece of newspaper that he can hide under will make him feel more secure.
