Handling a pituophis with tongs??? If the animal recently swallowed water in your absense expelling same would not be unprecedented, particularly if the front end of the animal chanced to suddenly be made lower than the rear. High heat may be more of a problem than low heat so far as regurgitation goes. Beyond that protozoans in the gut are a common source of the malady. You can find discussions on treatment for that made at length several months ago on the ratsnake forum, or simply google "Flagyl treatment for reptiles". Try feeding a nearly hairless rat rather than a fully furred mouse, and don't feed again until the meal has been digested and evacuated from the bowel.
