Re: 40 gallon breeder for a adult honduran
You can put him in anytime you want. The smaller he is the more cover you will need.
Substrate to burrow in, multiple hides. Some foliage, plants...etc. Also cover all sides but the front to reduce visual traffic.
I'd also cover 4/5th's of the screen top to retain heat and humidity.

Re: 40 gallon breeder for a adult honduran
Do you have a thermostat to control the heat source? What heat source are you using?
What thermometers are you using to monitor temperature?

Re: 40 gallon breeder for a adult honduran
Okay I'm guessing you don't know what a thermostat is.
Thermostats and thermometers are not the same thing.
A thermostat is a device used to control the heat source. You need one so that your heat source doesn't overheat the enclosure.
A thermometer is a device used to measure temperature. You also need this to monitor the conditions in your enclosure.
A 10 gallon heat mat is too small for a 40 gallon tank. Go out and get one appropriate for your setup. It should cover 1/4 to 1/3 of the floor space.

Sounds like a great idea. I'd buy a helix thermostat from LLLreptile while you are at it. No excuses, you need a thermostat.
edit: if you are on a budget I'd recommend getting a hydrofarm from amazon.com

You still need something to control the temperature of the heat mat. How much you want to spend on one, is up to you. They have ones for reptiles that are awesome control almost everything. Seeing as this is for a Hondo, any simple thermostat will work. I use a hydro farm thermostate for both my snakes and it works well. They are roughly $40 shipped off of Amazon. I need to stress you NEED to have a thermostat.
