Sounds like it's just stressed from being handled right after you got it, and probably too soon after eating. Find out when it was last fed if you can.
You need to give it 10 days to rebuild digestive enzymes/juices up again before the next feeding and also a little time to get used to its new home, it can be hard to leave them alone but it's best to let them take the time to feel comfortable in their new surroundings before handling them

I agree. Just give it a couple of days before handling him again.

And to add to the above, As long as there is food still in the stomach a snake can regurge it. And sometimes it's probably not all ready to be pooped at the same time. This happened to my snake, He pooped two days after eating and regurged a day after that.
