shedding or dehydration

[gladys]

Hi I got my first snake, a ball python hatchling, about a month and a half ago. She had finished shedding when I got her and she has been doing great. I went on vacation for a week and left all her heating lamps on timers and my roommate making sure she had water. I came back last night and she was fine but now roughly 24 hours later she looks really dull and like she is shedding but I haven't been here and I'm scared she is dehydrated and my roommates didnt give her water. How can I know the difference. Also should I handle her?
