As for that python and cage, you need a fogger. That is a pretty tall cage and its gonna take some effort to keep that humidity up. Also like said, plug off that screen on the bottom. Most snakes wont eat if their husbandry isn't right and with his skin being all dry, i'm gonna guess he is dehydrated first and foremost which will put snakes off food as well which goes back to husbandry issues. And a 60 watt bulb to heat a 4' tall cage? I use 100 watt CHEs on Herpstats to maintain 40 gallon tanks for my babies. I cant imagine a 60 watt heating a huge cage like that. like Gio mentioned, you need to review the guidelines for husbandry and then completely rework your set up to match. Best of luck getting it all straightened out.
My bp Marshall is doing great. I upgraded his cage due to his apparent love for climbing. His heat source is now a regulated CHE.

If you would have read the other comments, you would notice that I'm going with mistking. The screen on the bottom has since been covered. I agree with you at he is dehydrated, he is making improvements with the daily misting though. If it gets any worse, I will look into other options. You do realize that diamonds are cold weather pythons? As you can see in the pic of his enclosure, I built a big basking ledge for him where he gets the recommended temperature of 85. You'd be surprised how how a 60w bulb can get. I have a 100w for my uro and that heats her basking spot to 130.
