You are right, it does look to clean to look like it passed through his system. He may have had some fluid or something coming out and the aspen just stuck to it.

It looks like there was somekind of internal probleimpaction that did damage. Without any clues there is not much you could have done. The poor guy was trying to pass something that caused sever damage. I did have a BP from a petstore once that was so dehyrated the urates turned to rock and had to be removed by a vet. I was lucky enough to bring her in for other problems(ticks and mites) and the vet caught it. That was the last snake I ever got from a petstore.
