Regurgitation after 6 weeks of not feeding

My bp hadnt eaten since mid dec. I went through hell trying to get it to eat. She finally took a meal on saturday and regurgitated it in her water bowl. I think she digested some of it because it wasnt complete. Temps are 81 on cold side 92 on the warm side. I didnt handle her at ALL before or after feeding. humidity is 50-70%.

Are you feeding live or ft?
The course for after a regurge is no feeding for 2 weeks. Then feed a very small prey item. Then wait another two weeks if he holds it down slightly bump prey size and try feeding on a regular schedule. If things keep going well you can go back to feeding normally. He needs time to get the bacterial load back to normal and to heal up from the regurge. Forcing food to soon is just going to make situations worse. But now you need to try and find out why the regurge happened. So ft or live, weight of the snake, and prey size?

What size did you initially feed? Same thing happened to me a while back. I feed one of my BPs, who didn't eat for while, his regular size meal and he regurged. Now, when one of my adult BPs come off feed I usually feed them a 40g rat the first week and gradually increase size each week.

Bp is 152 g the rat i tried feeding was 23g it about the size she was eating before she stopped feeding. Should I be concerned with parasites or anything? She hasnt been around other herps. I was feeding from a pet store and after she stopped eating ive switched to a private breeder. Im worried she may have gotten something from a feeder in the pet store i used to go to
