IMO, he looks underfed and possibly dehydrated as well. My guess is that he never ate at all. Did he seem light or weak when you held him? Also, when he was being held, did he explore your hand, frequently flicking his tongue or he just sit there until you put him back. The tongue flicking is a very important sign to look for. Snakes that are very weak or very dehydrated either won't flick their tongues at all or will just barely stick it out. My condolences on your loss.
