They don't jump, they will crawl out onto the floor though.
My black edge moray gets way too excited during feeding and he crawled out of the tank when my husband turned his back for a fraction of a second to get him another piece of food.
That's another thing, don't teach your moray to come to the top for food (they will learn it inadvertently if you even feed them when they come completely out of the rocks). Use tongs and teach them to eat at the bottom to keep accidents from happening. Like I said, they'll be out of the tank before you even notice.
Snowflakes aren't supposed to be as aggressive as the species I have, so perhaps A BIT less risk, but ours was in with one at the LFS for a long time and he would also readily come to the top for food.
You'll need either a good hood with no spaces big enough for them to wiggle out or to keep your water level pretty low. Like most eel-like fish they'll suddenly get the urge to find their way out of the tank in the middle of the night.
As far as the PVC, it will work as his home if he decides to use it. My eel just pushes the rocks whereever he wants and excavates sand. He's fully grown and pretty big though.
