Pinkish belly can mean that they are going into a shed cycle.

The regurg. can be a number of things: incorrect temps, too much stress, too big of prey item, etc.

If the snake is used to eating every 2 weeks,, and I fed her once a week, could this have caused the regurg ?? 2 meals too close together ?

Could be! Make sure you wait 10-14 days before you try again! That digestive system needs to rest!
