it may sound harsh but if you can't split them up when something like this happens then either you shouldn't really have so many snakes or you should have more equipment on standby
but, dealing with what's occurred, what sort of size snakes are we talking about? |

If you absolutely cant separate them all then absolutely fish out the male, he will be in randy mode at the moment, he may be mating the females when they've just eaten ans staying still and thats causing the regurge. Your females are probably all going to be laying eggs soon, are you prepared for that? What sizes are your females? Small females that are gravid can be in real danger of becoming eggbound. |

the plan is am going to separate the male coz i aint got enough room to separate them all? and not going to feed any of them for about two weeks the ones in the same tank, the thing is i just feed one of them then watch one of the other spew up, gut the tanks, and see waht happens that sound okay? |

i'm guessing the cause is reaching a sexually active age and being kept in a group, so splitting them up should prevent it happening again |

Are they big enough to safely breed? You will more than likely have a very busy male at the moment and lots of harassed females (that is if they are all in together). I would separate them all at the moment, until you get a grip on your regurges, and who is doing what. |

ok calm down, it's only a one-off regurge for each snake at the moment 
split them up, follow the advice on the regurge sticky topic and tbh to rule out the food source, buy in some food for next time they're due a feed in 10-14 days |

what are your temps and set-ups like?
i'm guessing you cohabit which can be stressful for the snakes concerned and could be the cause |
