Don't try feeding it again for a while (week or two). Make sure it has access to plenty of water and let it's digestive system recover from the stress it's gone through from regurging twice. After the recovery period, you could try again with a day old pink, pink parts, or egg syringe-fed. Good luck and make sure to treat your snake like a sick snake. I've seen quite a few people who don't get too fazed about a snake which just regurged but they forget that regurgitation CAN kill.

Did you waight for atleast 10 days befor giving it food for the 2nd time? If the snake is regurgetating its meal it ma be for a few things but most commonly its cause in its stomach there is not enaph of "juces" (not sure whats its called) which decompose food. Thats the reason you should give atleast 10-12 days with no food but only water and then try feeding again.

i waited 8 days then i fed it. but what seems weird to me is that after 4 days of feeding it my snake pooped and several hours later he regurged its meal.
