Check your temps first. If you don't have a max-min thermometer on the warm AND cool side of the cage, you can't possibly know what temperature range the snake is actually subjected to. Temps can very more than people really know (especially this time of year and in early spring when they first start using the AC again in their house). Just because the snake in the cage next to it is OK, doesn't mean that the temps aren't varying too much for the problematic snake.
Second, check your humidity. I've had some bairdii be REAL susceptible to high humidity and puke frequently. Subocs and bairdii were the worst for me when it came to humidity problems. (I live on the gulf coast where 65% relative humidity is considered a drought!)
Are you feeding live or thawed frozen mice? If using live, try offering a thawed frozen (completely thawed and warmed up completely) just a little bit smaller than the "perfect" size for a while. Freezing/thawing breaks down some proteins, etc. and can actually make digestion easier!
Good Luck,
KJ
