How many options can I give to a snake so small? Small snakes kept in tubs or even smaller enclosures usually only have one choice of heat, be it a heat tape, pad, or a light. Also, what is not optimal about it? She goes up, she basks at 90F. <--- Is there something wrong here?
I am also not deadset on an arboreal setup. I don't like repeating myself but I will. I have said before that I would give it some time to confirm that she doesn't continue to thermoregulate herself based on the setup I have given her, before taking the advice of the posters here including you and giving her a terrestrial type of setup.

I don't like repeating myself either but I seem to have to. The fact, that your snake did not digest it's meal would tell me something is wrong with your set up.
All of my snakes are in tubs. ALL of them and there's plenty. None regurge. I don't have this issue. I never do because I maintain a proper enclosure for them all.
