Husbandry? Cage size & type? Temps hot & cold side? Meal size & dates? These are the Q's you need to answer to be helped properly. The snake regurged due to being too hot, too cold, too stressed or overfed or fed too soon after another meal or fed too cold of a meal. Once a young snake regurges it needs time to recoup before being fed again. If it was being fed every 5-7 days than puked, you need to skip a meal before offered it again. So instead of 5-7 days after a regurge wait at least 10-14 days & then go with a small meal. If it is fed too large of a meal too soon after a regurge it will just regurge again, specially if the husbandry that was likely responsible hasn't been corrected. If you keep feeding it without correcting the husbandry or too soon after a regurge it will just continue to regurge until it is thin & lethargic & eventually die. Regurge in young snakes is very serious & the biggest mistake is to continue feeding them too soon after & they will just keep regurging meal after meal. They need time to build up their stomach fluids etc. again & the meal after a regurge must be small & easily disgestable & at least 10-14 days after or it will just be puked up. Mark
