I am thinking perhaps the common problem of snakes regurgitating after being brought out of brumation is their gut fauna needs a period of time to regenerate after the long brumation. This is assuming the gut fauna declines over the winter. So giving the snake at least two weeks to warm up and for its gut fauna to regenerate before offering food may prevent regurgitation. Some snakes may need a month of warming up.

What do you all think?
