Kay, things to try:
Toss the heat lamp. Chances are the snake doesn't really need it and it's drying out the air. Instead, get an appropriate sized Under Tank Heater. Then, get two hides (my snakes seem to enjoy empty cereal boxes) and put one on the cool side and one over the UTH.

Then, leave him alone for about a week, and offer whatever he was eating before he went on the hunger strike.

Hides are essential. If you do nothing else make sure the snake has something to hide in/under.
