    The most common reason why a snake regurgs is because of husbandry. What's your temperatures on both sides look like, humidity, do you have a hot spot, are your heating devices controlled by thermostats?

    Just looking at the pictures of the enclosures I'd suggest getting fake plants to make the snake feel more secure, but that is secondary to making sure your husbandry is spot-on.
    Temperature on the left side is 71-73 degrees, middle (where his heat mat is) 81-85 while inside his hide is 94-96, and the right side by the log is roughly 76-80. Humidity is about 60%. The heat mat is not controlled by a thermostat. I figured it doesn't need it as it doesn't get any hotter than 96 degrees.

    i should have some fake vines lying around that I have for my geckos. I also have a lot of semi dried Spanish moss, would that work too?
