Two weeks is much better for the animals recovery.
I'm guessing it may be heat related,you say you have a lamp and a UTH source ?
Boa do not need basking spots from over head sources if the under cage source is sufficient.Dehydration will also play a part in boa regurge. Overhead heat sources deplete humidity.

I would give the animal a good soak a few days before the next feeding trail on the second week of recovery.



>>I wouldn't get too worked up over it. Babies do it sometimes, oh well.... May have been too big of a meal, the boa may have been stressed from being handles, could have been a number of things. I wouldn't get too concerned. If it is already eating frozen, keep giving frozen. However, wait a week to try again. Babies stomachs get thrown off very easily when the regurg. If you feed it again too soon, it will regurge again. I usually wait a week before offering food again, and they never seem to have a problem.

>>hope this helps
