Do you live in an area with ribbons?

You could have a different one.....a long shot but you never know?????

Your snake could have gotten "sick" while it was escaped... I would suggest taking it to the vet just to be on the safe side.
Kevin also made a good point... are you sure you have the same snake?
Take care

Your snake probably got used to not having to deal with you sticking your face in front of it and got used to it. :) Just keep handling it and it should tame down again.

Yup, all of the above comments sound right! Also, you say that it "pukes" up the fish onto you that it ate just hours ago? You shouldn't handle it for 36 hours after feeding it.
