Hi Ken, here's my article about vomiting:
http://www.thamnophis.com/caresheets...=Regurgitation

Basically check all enclosure conditions ( especially temperature ). But if that's ok, I'd see a vet. That's because it's a juvenile snake and it's shown to do it regurarly.

Ken, I agree with Hans. Very first thing would be to check your temps. I recommend 82 to 85 degrees F. for your King snake to properly digest its food.

I agree with hans to.
but if your snake vomits,feed him a week later, not the next day.
his insides can be damages of the vomiting, and that needs time to recover!
