You may not be effectively heating him with that method. Change in weather too. The snake is probably refusing to feed in response to cooler conditions.
I would cool it to the 55-65 range. You can find this temp range easily somewhere in the house. A carpeted floor is often right in this range. Snake, tub, water dish, hide. Thats it. Leave it for a month or so. Then do the below setup. If it eats, great. If not, back to the cooler. Eventually the snake will eat.
Your housing should be:
Get an undertank heater and a thermostat (online, many available, see Big Apple or LLL or Bean Farm or just check the classifieds on kingsnake.com). Setup the cage with that (just slide about 3 inches of the tub over the heater. Tape thermostat probe to heater. Set for 82-84 degrees or so - 84 if room is cool, 82 if room is warm. That simple.)
