While I find this thread extremely informative and I'm very glad it was posted, I cannot wrap my mind around someone experiencing a regurge and then immediately feeding the snake again and then again while it kept regurging. This to me is all kinds of wrong.

Notwithstanding I know that a regurge in snakes is serious, common sense should tell someone even with no knowledge it's a bad thing. Especially if the food had started to rot, and undoubtedly it was supremely nasty, common sense should tell you the snake needs time to recover from that.

At least you were able to find out the real reason it died, which counts for something.
