"Rescued" Carpet, horrible shed situation

So, I had a neighbor give me his son's carpet python because they are preparing to put their house on the market, and can't have a snake in the house...(ok, I guess)...he tells me it's had some trouble shedding recently. I'm thinking, he prob has some stuck patches, I'll soak it off of him. Wrong...this poor thing prob has the last several sheds in place. I placed him in a container with a wet warm towel for a couple of hours and was able to remove the eye caps and some of the skin, but it is terrible. I am seriously wondering if this snake should be euthanized. I am keeping his humidity up in the 70% range and he has a deep dish to soak in. I am working on getting some of the "stacked" areas off, but basically his whole body is this way and I'm not making much progress.

Any input in this situation is appreciated, I'm not sure he is going to do well...
