BPs could regurg because they are full of parasites, because they were handled or stressed after eating, because the meal was too big, because they were too hot or too cold.....You need to pin down your husbandry or you will not know. If it is a new snake to you I would recommend a vet check.

In my opinion, no, an adult female can not fit in that 24" tub. But others may have done so. I like mine in bigger though.

Don't refeed immediately after a regurg. Another reason to have her checked. Give her a couple weeks at least before offering another meal and you might want to make it a smaller one.
