Boas don't generally hibernate. Was this a wild caught or captive born boa? I am thinking perhaps he has parasites? Something caused the regurge to happen so that needs to be figured out. Sometimes it's due to illness, too much or too little heat, stress, etc. Make sure to give the boa 1-2 weeks to recover from the regurg and next feeding offer something 1/2 the size of normal. I would highly suggest a vet trip...

Sorry I couldn't be of more help
