The obvious advice I'd give is to not patronize pet stores that sell unhealthy animals. By doing so, you are supporting their poor business practices.
I'd also advise you not to handle the snake at all and to keep it in a low light setting for 2-3 months, until it has established a regular feeding pattern.
Although it is tempting to feed malnourished snakes often, it may take quite some time before the snake can be put on an every-3-days feeding schedule. I'd feed it every 5-7 days and then shorten the intervals between feedings if the snake doesn't regurge.
