Well, although the initial three meals of a combined weight of 120 grams or so wouldn't put a big "lump" per se in the snake because the individual rats aren't that big in diameter themselves, but when combined together, they make for a very substantial LONG meal, and could very well have been the cause that got this regurge thing going. Like I said in the other post, the latter half starts to rot because it doesn't quite reach the stomach as the first portion does. Then, with the weakened gut system, it regurged the smaller meals that were fed later too.

BUT!,....if fed a much smaller meal next time in a couple weeks, and it does this again,....it would then be time to go straight to the vet for a fecal exam and treatment.

best of luck!
