Aquired poorly taken care of adult BP. HELP!

[SaraCVT]

Hi! New to bp.net, but hoping all you snakey people can help me out.

I work at a vet hospital, and a couple weeks ago this guy brought in a bp to be euthanized for "shedding problems". Obviously, we didn't kill him and now he is mine.

So, it appears that he has an inch wide burn all down his back from a heat lamp. It also melted his cage. My exotic specialist vet put him on a 10 day course of Baytril (injectable antibiotic) and daily weak iodine soaks. The infectin has cleared up and the skin under the cracked and burned stuff is healthy and supple, maybe a bit discolored. I've reduced his soaks to every other day because he was getting sick of all the fuss. I have been keeping his enclosure as humid as possible. Any other suggestions? He's got lots of skin hanging off of him that are still very much attached. Keep doing what I'm doing?

Also, I have no idea when he ate last. I try feeding him once a week and he has no interest at all. I have several other snakes, so I'm not completely ignorant on getting snakes to eat. My vet says that if he doesn't start eating in a couple weeks, I'll need to force feed him, which I am very reluctant to do. I know he needs to keep up his strength to heal, but I kinda feel like it may do more harm than good. I've been keeping tabs on his weight (840 grams) and he hasn't lost any. So, again, I'd love to hear any and all feedback.

Thanks a bunch!
