snakes regurge for several reasons.. Too big of food, too low or too high temps, dehydration, and handling or disturbing them during the first couple days of digestion.
Also impaction will result in regurges and so will intestinal infections but these are rare in Kenyans.
You should wait at least a full week after a regurge before attempting re feeding, then make the feed animals really small. If your snake normally eats mice, give it a small hopper. If it usually takes hoppers, take it right down to pinks.
Make sure it has a low water dish to drink from and temps should be 85 to 90 for Kenyans to digest. Don't touch or disturb it for at least 5 days after re-feeding it the smaller meal.
