That is a nice looking boa,
I just can't believe how ignorant people can be.
Makes me sick sometimes, and if I had the money I would totally take sick snakes into my care, treat them, and give them good homes.
This is just disgusting on how someone could let a snake get this way. I really hope that boa makes it.
If he isn't doing well and not responding well or at all to the medication, the best thing to do would be to euthanize him. But hopefully he'll pull through, this boa needs a good home with you and I'm most positive you'd give him the best home.
For a case like this I would quarantine him for a really long time even if he does get better. I'd shoot for 7 months to a year of quarantine, and make sure you do your best to take the precautions to not spread what he has.
Good luck
