One more thing.
If you are getting a 80F reading from the thermometer near the perch it tells me my guess of a low temp hotspot is correct. Then with such a low reading at the top of the cage the bottom of the cage has to be really low as well. Especially with the moisture that appears to be there. A night drop of 75 in the cool area is alright but I would not want those low temps during the day.
I cant guess what the hotspot is as that depends on the wattage of the bulb, type of bulb, and the surrounding temps. This is where the temp gun is so valuable as it can tell you what the actual perch temp is.
The way you setup sits you snake's only options are places that are not warm enough. If the snake knows its too cold it will not eat as it knows it will not digest properly.
