Considering most people only guarantee their animals for 48hr-7 days, I would never wait a week to try and feed it. When I get new snakes in they eat the same day they arrive. When I ship snakes out they are typically not fed for 10 days prior so I tell the buyer they're ready for a meal as soon as you get them.

If your snake only had bubbles and excess mucus that one time, I'd guess it had just finished drinking water. When bothered after having a drink they will spit it all back up. If it still has the problem you should take it to a vet to check for RI.
