    Describe his set up for us. His temps, humidity, what you measure them with. And don't tell us "Temps and humidity are fine" because that doesn't tell us anything, and we need to know actual numbers to roll that out as a cause.

    Are you waiting a minimum 2 weeks before offering food when he regurges. IT takes this long to rebuild tht stomach to accept food. Without this wait time they will only continue to regurge.

    I've had one snake regurgitate, ever. It was my first ball python. The next time he deficated, I bagged it up and took it to my vet to test for internal parasites. It came back positive, and he was treated with Panacur.

    Try to take a fecal sample into your vet to rule out parasites.

    I had my first morph a Spider regurge when i got her home. I figured i would just wait it out and tried 2 weeks later, she ate fine. It was because it was too hot and my thermometer was broken, but she ate great every 5 days after that.

    How many times has he regurgitated? I would give him 14 days to settle down. Try not to disturb him. Offer him a smaller sized prey item and see how it goes... :gj:
