Welcome to the forum!
Yes, young Hondurans, as well as MOST young milks are EXTREMELY nervous and flighty by nature. The best thing you could do is not hold it too often, and just let it be what it is, a nervous milksnake for a while.
Most of them gradually out-grow this behavior and become very manageable with time. I have raised some very easy-going milks right out of the egg too, but it is FAAAR more common for them to be nervous, biting, pooping thrashers for a good while. By their first year, most totally outgrow all that freaking out.
Just keep the faith..LOL!
As a matter of fact, this extreme hypo was an absolute SWEET-HEART right out of the egg, and has always been as calm and easy-going as could be!
