As far as moisture goes corn snakes are from temperate climates so they don't have as much need for specific humidity ranges to help them shed.

I always feed my snakes in their cages and have never had an issue. The only time I have had an issue is when I tried to feed in a separate cage. Besides, how do you account for the people who have hundreds if not thousands of snakes that they don't have the luxury of swapping out cages for feeding? They seem to have no problems.
