    well regurgitation in itself isn't so dangerous, it's the reasons behind regurgitation that can be nasty. Usually the only reasons for a regurge are because a. the prey item was too big. b. you handled too soon after the snake ate (should wait 24-48 hrs before handling after feeding) c. the temps are too hot d. the temps are too cold and e. the snake is very ill. If it is a one time thing it may not be too concerning but any more than once it's vet time. I think all this is right but the pro's will answer as well. hope this helped!

    Another big reason for a regurge is internal parasites.

    Regurging CAN cause damage to the snake. If it happens, the snake should not be fed again for at least two weeks, in order to give the digestive track time to heal and recover from the experience.
