Double-check your heat sources and make sure everything is still where it should be. Typically a regurge is due to 1) not enough or improper heat, 2) stress from overhandling, 3) too large of a feeder, or 4) parasites or a disease like cryptosporidium.
Next, order some NutriBAC - you can get it at http://beanfarm.com/product_info.php...oducts_id=5933 It's a reptile probiotic that will help post-regurge at getting their gut flora re-established. Since you won't be feeding again for a while you'll have time to get it delivered to you.
You're supposed to put it in the water but I don't as I rarely see my snakes drink, plus if it makes the water taste any different I don't want to discourage a compromised animal from drinking and then have to deal with dehydration on top of the regurge. I just dust a damp f/t feeder with a pinch of the powder.
Regurgitation is very hard on a snake's system so don't offer food again for at least three weeks, and even then the feeder should be a size down from what the snake is eating now. If that stays down offer another half-sized feeder after two weeks. If that stays down you can go back to your normal feeding schedule.

Snake puke has its own wonderfully nasty smell. Once you smell it you will never forget. I was out in my backyard last summer and I smelled snake puke. I though I was imagining it however sure enough I found a partially digested opossum under my mango tree. I couldn't find what threw it up but it had to be pretty big.
