Just to clarify, you need to take the temp at the bottom of your tank, not the heatmat itself. Heatmats don't get very hots alone; they work by radiating heat into something like glass or plastic to make it warm.
 
i took the tempreture by placing the thermometre layed down on the bedding in the vivarium (where the snake sits) not on the heathmat.

Alright, but again it needs to be on the very bottom, below the substrate. Even if you've neeever seen your snake burrow doesn't mean it hasn't/won't, and they're slow to react to burns. I've found the temp on the substrate can be 20 degrees less than the temp on the heated glass just an inch below it! I'm not trying to ride your arse, but better safe than sorry, verdad?

Even if you find a vet, (and anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong) I doubt he is going to be able to do anything other than test your snake for parasites and deworm him, if that's the problem. There really isn't much else you can do for a regurging baby other than do everything in your power to prevent it from happening, if you can. If the snake has a physiological problem, the vet isn't going to be able to fix or treat it.

A fecal sample could be collected to check for parasites, and oral antibiotics can be prescribed as well.

There's also a special carnivore care diet that an exotic vet should have which can be tube fed. It's liquidy and light, so it helps in critical times.
