IMHO, your low temps are too cold... mid-60s can blunt the feeding response. Like Amy said, you might be better to go with a heat pad instead of a lamp. Your cage does seem large as I, too, keep an adult Dum in a 4x2 enclosure. Otherwise, it sounds like you're doing most things right.
One more thought about feeding... are you handling your animal much? I imagine you think it's fine and doesn't mind handling but snakes can stress about handling without showing many outward signs. If you've only had it a couple of months, leave it alone for a while (at least a couple of weeks without handling) and let it settle in. That might make it feel more secure and willing to eat. Just a suggestion.
