I don't know if shedding can cause a regurge so someone else will have to aswer that one but I do know that incorrect temps can cause it, and also handling too soon (which you didn't do so can rule that out). Usually after a regurge it's advised to not feed the snake again for 10 days to allow the tummy to settle and get back to normal.
Edit: have a read of this

Sorry, another edit, just read in your other post that you handled him tuesday. If he fed Sunday night he probably should not have been handled till wednesady as the ideal is 48 hours minimum. |

hey lou , yeah we had a few troubles with the temps a few days before we had fed him but now we have everything sorted and the warm end reads 80 (even tho the stat is set to just abit higher , i see what u all mean with importance of thermometers)
we werent sure whether it was 10 days to wait we were gona wait at least a week as we figured he would be hungry after shedding? we have a few diff sized pinkies so figured we should pick the smaller ones out to ease his stomach? x |

| Hi, 80f is 26c and is a little low, ideally you want 83-86f (28-30c) |
