I don't really see a full body stuck shed myself; I see a really dehydrated animal instead.

Dehydrated. Everything about this husbandry is wrong for a blood. Glass tank, screen top, heat lamp. All reasons for that snake jerky sausage you see there. That snake is not beyond help yet however.

Rescuing a blood is something to leave to those who already have experience owning a blood.

That's a fully retained shed. The snake is also likely dehydrated from being kept in a completely incorrect setup, but the extreme wrinkling like that with the weird opaque-shiny appearance is from a fully retained shed. Really sad.
