Do you know the entire history of this snake? I understand she is a rescue and was malnourished. Is it possible that this is a longer term problem, repeated regurg, causing her to fail to thrive. I don't know much about snakes, I'm just learning, but do a lot of rescue of dogs and horses and understand that often what we see at the time of rescue can actually be an unaddressed long term issue...just saying. And although I don't know much, if anything I can read. I have checked my various books and care sheets on BOs and Herps generally and nowhere to I see anything but wait 14 days minimum.
First off, I would get a fecal analysis ASAP. You say that she it very thin, she could have intestinal parasites. A high load count can cause an obstruction which can lead to regurge. Also, dehydration will precipitate a regurgation. A qualified herp vet should be able tell if she's dehydrated and easily administer SQ fluid therapy.
Good luck, I wish the best for you and your new addition.
