New snake has regurgitated twice. Scaring the hell out of me!

I'm so happy to read that your snake is doing well! As for being able to edit your posts, that's a perk that comes with being a contributor to the site. (The price is a very reasonable $25 per year - well worth paying to correct the typos, let alone to help support this site where I've learned so much IMHO!)

I thought it was my phone acting funny since I only post from it. Imma have to contribute now. If not for this site surely I wouldn't have had any idea how to care for my snake after the regurges
 
So I tried feeding yesterday and he didn't take. Imma feed on wednesday. On a side note, when I picked up to put him in his feeding container I noticed the belly scales right under his mouth and neck were like filthy. They weren't swollen and I've checked him for mites and he doesn't seem to have mites that I can see but the first 10 or so belly scales were bordered in this brown dirt like thing while the rest of his body is perfectly normal. He hasn't been acting any differently. And I clean his cage the second I see poop or pee. Warm side is constantly in mid 80s cool is between 72-80. Humidity is usually around 40-50. I'm not sure why his scales would look like this. I've had him about 2 months and he hasn't shed so maybe he might shed soon. Idk
 
If he goes blue, or you suspect he will soon, I wouldn't feed!! Can you get a picture of the scales?

The yellow in the second pic is also just a reflection from the flash. I've checked him as in depth as I can and its no yellow or pus. Its just a flash effect
 
I can't tell...I guess I'd see if he's going to shed soon, and if it's gone after that.
 
That's what I'm hoping. Imma give him a week or 2 and if it isn't gone then imma go with a vet visit
 
It almost looks like it's just normal color showing up on the ventrum, but under the chin/neck isn't the usual place for that to show up first. You might try wiping the folds and scales with a cotton swab soaked with room temperature water. If the discoloration comes off, great. If not, no harm done. Like Nanci says (I say that a lot - Nanci gives great advice!) you'll know more after a shed in any case.
 
Thanks for the advice. I already tried cleaning him with a cotton swab tuesday night and nothing changed. He hasn't behaved differently so I'm hoping its nothing. I also figured out his eating habit. Unless its absolute darkness he wont eat. When I fed sunday it was light out, and the last time he rejected food it was the same situation. When he has eaten he is in complete darkness because I was cleaning his viv and had him in a container and put him in my closet on a rack so my dogs wouldn't find him. So I am putting him in his small container than covering it with a paper bag so he can eat and then ill just put him back in his viv. Since I wasn't cleaning out his viv sunday and he's already out of sight for my dogs I just locked my door and put him in a small container but there was sun coming in. He refused to eat.
