...w/o any further history, ie its feeding history, I assume he's kept down his prior meals. How soon after he ate did he regurg? Check your temps, and avoid handling for a couple days post feeding. Give him about 5-7 days off and then try a small meal. Make sure he has access to low 90'sF temp. If you're using frozen-thawed make sure you have good quality product. Given all variables being good this is probably an isolated incident and you'll have no further problems. Scott J. Michaels DVM

Yeah she kept down all 8 prior meals. It was about 48 hours after feeding. I picked her up and she regurgitated shortly after. Thanks.

As a note, you also want to be sure that any frozen prey item is COMPLETLY thawed before offreing it to your snake.
Hopefuly it was just an isolated incidedt.
Best of luck to you and your snake,
