Skin wrinkles like that just means that your humidity is too low. And humidity is needed for a good shed.

Are you using a heat lamp? Those destroy humidity, so if possible, I would turn it off.
But if it's not possible, place a damp paper towel or moss in his warm hide. That way he can go into his hide for some humidity if needed.

If you can take away the heat lamp, you can do a few things:
1) Move the water dish to the hot side of the enclosure
2) Use a wider water dish (more surface area = more evaporation)
3) Cover 90% of the lid with a damp towel, plexiglass, or sealed tin foil.
4) Use a substrate that retains moisture (coco husk or cypress mulch)

Yeah, those lines mean the snake is dehydrated - and that pic looks pretty dehydrated to me. What Satomi said is all spot on. GL!

Has it just pooped?

As long as there is water present in the enclosure, I highly doubt the animal is dehydrated. I would however, say that he is either underfed, or being fed prey items that are too small. Get some food in that Ball python. With that said, I will not say that any of the previous advice is bad.
