It is not normal for any snake (unless perhaps we're speaking of egg eaters who regurge the shell of an egg) to regurgitate a meal.

Was their anything that could have stressed the animal into regurging (handling, cohabitation, other pets harassing the animal)?

What "medicine" did you give it?

Let me see......it could be because you have them all piled in one tank together and they are stressed...or they can't all get to a proper hot spot to digest, since their only heat source is a single bulb in one corner of the tank.

Ah-hah!
Well, that certainly answers my question about a possible stress related regurge.

Here is the link to the FAQ that you may want to read over:

And a little section that I wanted to specifically point out:
Quote:
It is not recommended to house more then one cornsnake in the same enclosure. The problems that arise from co-habitating include cannibalism, transmission of disease and stress. It is better to avoid a problem then create them.

The frequency of feeding could very well be your problem. Although corns have a relatively high metabolic rate, feeding an adult corn two meals only a few days apart is physically stressing. The snake had not even fully digested it's meal from Saturday when it was fed again on Tuesday.

You also indicated that you medicated the snake to deparisitize it a week ago. In addition to killing the baddies, the beneficial gut flora of the snake is also going to drop off. One week is not enough time for them to have replenished themselves.

In short, you overfed it when it was physically incapable of digesting frequent meals. Let it go a week to a week and a half without a meal, and then give it something small.
