They say your gopher is unhappy because he is on aspen shavings? HA HA! That place sounds like a treat. Wow. You have very right to rant. 
Do you have anything smaller for your northern pine? The 30 inch cage may seem ok at first, but to him, it may give him too much of a feeling of " being out in the open " and he may do better in a smaller cage, for the time being, at his size. He actually may be nervous, or more nervous than he would be in a smaller, more condensed, cage, and that may have contributed to his regurge, possibly.
Some snakes may do fine in that big of a cage for that age, but it may be a safe possibility to consider. I had a southern pine refuse to eat in her cage, when I got her. Same length as your cage, and she would not eat. She was very nervous, and would only eat once I got her in something smaller, and more seclusive.
I usually have snakes that size in a big shoebox or a small sweaterbox, from The Container Store, as they work good.
