My python completed has shedding on Saturday, went to fed him on a Monday night with a weaner a little larger than last weeks prey, and he brought it up again as I notice the following day, could the pray be a little to big? Or too soon after shedding as I a little puzzled, when could I attempt next feed? Do i try something a little smaller, he is 7 months around 18" to 20" long.
Should I be concerned by this :(

I've never experienced one of my snake regurge, so im not sure why that would have happened, from general knowledge i know it could be because of too low temps so he cannot digest properly, so you might want to check your temps, other than that im not sure, sorry
You could try again in a weeks time on his next feed day and see what happens, thats what i would do personally

I'm sure someone more experienced will come along, but I hope i've helped

Could be stressed by something like alot of movement/noise aroud the viv, coz i heard that snakes sometimes regurge when they feel uncomfortable/threatened.
