    Was it a vet with experience in snakes and reptiles?

    If she's lost 130g from 400g to 270g and can't eat anything more than a mouse hopper without regurging or bleeding, there is something wrong. Your vet may not have found it for one reason or another (possibly inexperience with reptiles) but I would say your snake is in need of a visit to an experienced herp vet.

    How many times has she regurged in the last two or three months (or whenever the troubles started)?

    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.
