Since you don't know why the snake is regurging I would move it back into quarantine pronto. There are many things that can cause regurge including viruses. One regurged meal a couple of fruit flies and your whole colony could be infected if it's a virus. It wouldn't hurt to try GSE (grapefruit seed extract), I used it on a regurging western with very good results. Get a fecal exam done so you know if it does have parasite. Most vets. will do a fecal without seeing the snake. Keep it quarantined for three months after you get it eating well. IMHO
