Is 90F the ambient temp or just the warm end temp? If the snake doesn't have access to a cooler area then the heat could be what caused the regurge (of course, there are loads of other possibilities, too). The cool end should be in the mid to upper 70's with a basking area of say 90-92F. I would at least give her the full 14 days after the regurge before trying to feed her again. A good two weeks after a regurge is a good rule of thumb in my book.
Best of luck with her!

THE TEMP. 90 IS TOO HOT FOR MOST BOAS. YES, SOME WILL DO FINE AT 90, BUT FOR THE MOST PART ANYTHING OVER 84 IS TOO HOT. IN MY OPINION THE IDEAL TEMPS ARE FROM 78 TO 84 DEGREES, NO COOLER AND NO HOTTER. GRAVID BOAS LIKE TO THERMAL REGULATE AT 83 DEGREES. IF YOU OFFER THESE TEMPS YOUR BOAS WILL DO GREAT GIVEN ALL THE OTHER BASES ARE COVERED.

2 WEKKS AND SOAK THE ANIMAL IN LUKE WARM WATER FOR 48 HOURS. THIS WILL REHYDRATE HIM AND GIVE HIS INSIDES TIME TO HEAL.
