That is quite possibly the only thing that made them upchuck. Feeding too large a meal will often have that effect. I would still recommend waiting a week or two before feeding them again if they otherwise appear healthy. While I do not necessarily think regurgitation is very harsh or stressful on an otherwise healthy snake, it might be a good idea to let them mellow and possibly heal (if anything was torn or scraped while they regurgitated). I do not think it likely that they got hurt, but it is possible, so why tempt fate. Anyhow they should be pretty hungry by that time. When you do feedd them again, try a pinky for the first meal or two. Feed them once the first week, and then twice the next week but at least four days apart in for the second and third feedings. You and the snakes would be much better off with smaller more frequent feedings (4 to 5 days apart), than less frequent larger meals. Once they have kept those pinkies down, say after abvout 4 feedings, then try a small fuzzy (and I do mean small). Good luck, and let us know how things work out.

Best regards,
Glenn Bartley
