Thought I'd join back in to quote you again..  Actually valvaren said "very very extreme bordering on dangerous"...

No offense intended to anyone, but can someone please explain to me how a difference of 3 degrees is going to cause harm?
I have personally been to Brasil (Tudo Bem?) and I can attest that I experienced temperatures soaring well into the 100's while in the coastal hamlet of Uba Tuba (4 hours south of Rio by car), an area rich in forest canopy and coastal atolls with a humidity index that felt like it was off the charts.
The fauna there was thriving and doing wonderfully, so please for the sake of this thread, someone explain to me how a silly three degrees is going to kill a snake that is from an area such as what I just described??

Re: Rainbow not eating right
Stop making us envious of your travels Wayne.. lol 
In those forests wouldn't they (and I'm guessing here) have sufficient area to find a good spot to escape the heat? But in a viv this may be harder to do.. Just my thoughts.

So you are assuming all brb keepers and the op, keep the entire enclosure at 1 temp.
The op did state he has a night time drop, which is excellent, I don't see anything wrong with bumping up the hot spot to 85 if it will aid in digestion and encourage a feeding response. If it doesnt work, it doesnt work.
I highly doubt that it will kill the snake.

Re: Rainbow not eating right
No, I'm saying that if the hot end was 100f then unless the viv was huge the cold end and ambient temps may possibly be above what is desired..
Perhaps read my previous quote to see what my reply is in reference to.

Re: Rainbow not eating right
No I couldn't help myself, your snotty replies just seem to attract me.... I joined back in as I thought the thread would take a better turn once I saw Wayne's reply... You know, DISCUSSING opposing ideas and having a good old debate in the subject at hand..
Instead I seem to have been sucked into an argument with a fool just because your having a cry over someone making a point in reference to the advice you have given... The funny thing is, I never once said you were wrong...
Oh well, get the thread back on track for the OP's sake if nothing else.

Re: Rainbow not eating right
And he reverts to name calling now... lol mighty mature of you kid, All this time I thought my points were relevant to the op's subject, Its funny I never said you were wrong either, but since neither of us has any clue as to what size enclosure the op has we are both grasping at straws bickering back and forth...
I enjoyed discussing the facts, thanks for keeping me entertained this afternoon.  :
