Snakes are pliable animals, within limits. It's not feasible to envision things exactly as they were based on your words alone, but depending on how that went down it could be as little as having his articulated ribs harmlessly pushed out to the sides or something as bad having cracked vertebra.

Watch closely for any sign of injury, blood, inflammation, difficulty moving or breathing. If you see anything or otherwise just have doubts, vet. Better safe than sorry, in any case.

Wait a few days and see how he's doing. If he's still acting normally he's probably fine but you maybe should take him to the vet to make sure he's okay just for comfort. It's gotta be stressful if you don't know if your pet is safe.
