All great input/advice from Kc... but I wouldn't expect less from him.

My experience is no where near what Kc's is but (again with the "but"the only thing I'd add is once you have the hondo back on it's feet as it were keep the max temp at 84 to 86 with the lower end in the mid 70's. Keeping the temps on the high end to speed up metabolism and thus allow for weight gain etc. is important right now as Kc says. Add hides wherever you think fit... pay attention to how the snake reacts and act accordingly... don't think you could possibly do worse than what has happened to it so far.

All in all it sounds as if you're doing a great job with rehabilitating that hondo... always nice to know someone is willing to "step up to the plate" for these misunderstood animals.
