I opened the top a minute ago to spot clean the shed and the present she left with it, and she came out to investigate (usually I’ll open the top and she will crawl out onto my arm if she wants to come out) I decided not to handle her though.

    I'll bet it did! There's a first time for everything...now you know. Whenever you know your snake is in a shed cycle, whether at the beginning or the end, just skip the feeding for best results. Some accept food anyway, & do OK, but it's not worth the hassle. Shedding their skin takes extra hydration, & so does digestion, so many snakes will regurge their meal when just going into shed, like when it's just barely apparent & they'll eat anyway, but what happens sometimes is that after a day or so they get deeper in shed & are unable to properly digest, so back it comes, lol. I'm sure she's fine now, it's just that "her clothes were too tight". You were only a day or so too early.
