I am not a vet, but here you go.....

First, don't feed this snake tomorrow. Wait atleast 3 weeks to feed again. What kind of cage do you have it in? What are your temps on the hot side of the cage, and the cold side? What humidity do you have? I feel the biggest reason for gurging is probably improper husbandry.

I would soak the snake in a pedialite/water solution. The biggest thing you will be fighting over the next few weeks is keeping the animal hydrated. I would also mix a product called nutribac into the water (nutribac.com). It is good bacteria that aids the digestive system.

3 weeks later I would try a rat pink. If your husbandry is 100% you should not have this happen again. Feed every 2 weeks for atleast 2 months, and countinue with the smaller pray for awhile.

There is also a chance your animal has parasites, I would take the animal to the vet to get his/her opinion along with a fecal wash.

Hope this helps
