My post is just stating the fact that it "could be" the handling. I have seen many snakes re-gurge after being moved or handled right after eating.

I'm not saying that is the issue with this particular problem though. It could be a factor though. He still needs to add it to the "check list" to narrow down the problem before he goes and spends money on a Vet that probably doesn't know anything about snakes.

Re-gurge check list:
1. Stress factor
2. Heat
3. Lack of heat
4. Too large prey item
5. Parasites

All things to consider IMO.
