Glad to hear he is in hands that want to take care of him. A couple things I would like to add, but sounds like you are doing everything correctly so far. When snakes are that malnourished make sure you don't over feed and have them regurgitate their meal. That is the worst thing for him. Keep feeding small meals ( preferably frozen thawed) just don't stuff 5 or 6 down. He may not be able to digest that many at once. A healthy snake yes. If at all possible feed him those small meals every other day or so until he gets weight and strength back. Also make sure he has a nice warm spot(84-86 to possibly 90 max) to start the digestion process. Make sure he has a cool spot too though 78-80.

I am sure there will be other tidbits of information given but this is the most important (to me anyway) right at this point.

Hope it all works out, Hondurans usually bounce back pretty quickly so good luck.
