Looks like the second part of your question was forgotten by us. The deer meat question just over powered it. Sorry about that.

The dull/pale/dry look sounds like a shed is coming on. The biggest thing to look for is the blue eyes. The eyes will get a milky blue look to them. You can't mistake if for anything but shedding. Then that blue will disapear. The eyes will look normal. 3-7 days later your snake will shed. Many times they will soak just before they shed to further loosen the old skin.
