There are so many variables that can cause a snake to regurgitate. First, make sure your Taiwan's environment is in right condition(temperatures, humidity, etc).

If all that is ok, then definitely try a smaller prey item. Currently my big girl is ten years old as well, but can still take f/t jumbo rats. However, I have a couple of other beauties that regurgitate if the prey item is too large. Good Luck!
