Monitor these guy's weights. Give ample opportunity for water, and provide a humid hide. Dehydration is the enemy of a regurging snake. If your snake regurg's again, consider waiting 10-14 days. Normally, 2 weeks isn't a problem at all, and probably isn't for yours too, but with young animals it might be a coin toss, thus the monitoring of weight. If currently in a good body condition, a 10% weight loss would be time for intervention, and if this were to be done, whichever way you can safely give nutrition with the least amount of stress.
