A single regurge is nothing to be overly concerned with. The most healthy snakes will regurge from time to time.



Many factors can trigger it as well. Number one rule is never handle the animal during or after feeding. Snakes can be stressed out very easily. Even though you only handled her for a second that very well could have been enough stress to cause the regurge.



Hot and cold spots in the cage are also a contributing factor. Always make sure your habitat's temperature is even. No overly hot or cold areas etc.



I would not be worried at this point though. You should try to feed here again in about a week to 2 weeks. During this time you can still handle her.
