Sounds like your snake is not feeling to good. To help with the dehydration soak your snake in luke warm water for about 10 mins. i do this in the bath and only fill it abut 2" full, its supposed to help with the dehydaration. On the food thing, if your snake is shy and appears scared of the food one thing you could try is to place a smaller meal than normal half in the snakes favourite hide and leave it over night. You didn't mention how old your snake is if it's small take it to a vets to check for parasites. I lost a royal who had a similar problem which was atributed to parasites and wouldn't wish that on anyone!

Hope this helps, keep us updated.

Good luck
