Reason for Regurge?

I know of some reasons why a snake would regurge, but is it possible for a snake to regurge due to temps being a little too high? I'd imagine it would make for some speedy digestion.

What are some other reasons for regurge? I tried doing a search but all I found was tips on regurge protocol.

Thanks
 
A "little too high" I doubt it... Let's say we're talking 90-93, I'd be shocked if that made a corn regurge - but I'm far from an expert. However, it just doesn't seem to make sense that an animal from the Southern US would regurge from temperatures slightly above ideal.

However, way too hot could cause a regurge, among a host of other problems, I would imagine.
 
Feeding too early after purchasing. Handling too early after feeding.
And of course, stress of any kind in general.

Feeding while in shed can cause problems due to the unbalanced fluid metabolism. But many people feed their snakes in that time without difficulty.
