1.He last ate about 3 1/2 - 4 weeks ago, is it safe to brumate him now, or is that to long or short ago from last feeding?



That's fine. Most people wait 10-14 days after the last feeding.



2.For a snake this size, do the same temps for nomal brumation apply? Where I am planning on putting him it is a constant 55-60 degrees. Is this suffice?



Yes. Baby snakes can be cooled in the same manner (and at the same temperatures) as adults.



3. What is best to put in the container/aquarium?



It really doesn't matter much. The snake will tend to be inactive during cooling. If it's feasible, I'd simply put the reptile in the cage you're keeping it in, in the brumation area.
