You say they are juveniles, so maybe it is just stress and not internal parasites that causes your boa to regurge. Wait a while before the next feeding like Siberian said, and give her/him a single pinky rat or fuzzy mouse each week. This, after you have seperated the snakes. If you are in the Southern California area and are near Los Angeles I will give you a cage for free to house the burm in. If you don't live close by email me and I will run a few ideas by you for getting caging very cheaply. DON'T handle the snakes for several days after they eat! It's very important that they digest their meals undisturbed especially after having bouts with regurgitation.
>>I agree with every thing said except maybe the feeding live. Separate the 2 snakes, if you can't afford another enclosure get rid of 1 of the snakes. Both will require large enclosures as they grow, especially the burm. Sounds like you already have some problems, both should see a vet. If your boa is regurging wait at least 2 weeks before feeding again and then feed a smaller than normal prey. May have parasites or regurg syndrome.
