leave him alone and don't try to feed again for another 10 days. you need to figure out why he regurgitated. when was he feed and when did he regurgitate? did you handle him after he ate? do you have the proper temps in the cage?

The main causes of regurgitation are stress, handling too soon after eating (wait 48-72 hours after eating before handling), improper environmental conditions (temperatures must be warm enough for them to digest), and undiagnosed illness.

Wait ten to fourteen days and then try feeding it again. This time feed a smaller mouse. If it holds this down then go back to once a week feeding.
If it regurgitates again then there might be something wrong and a trip to the vet may be in order.

A good point was brought up in the other response.
Make sure you have proper temperatures. If the habitat is too cool then the snake will not be able to digest it's food.
lets us know how you are heating the habitat and what the temps are.
