A snake has to have enough belly surface warmth to properly digest with temps of around 82-87F on one far end portion of its enclosure, but also have a cooler area to retreat to after digestion to conserve energy and body mass in the 70's for example

I would say 82-87F is no where near warm enough for proper thermoregulation and digestion for a hot spot.

Maybe it is because you are in Florida and your problem is you have the opposite problems of snake temps. You need strong air conditioned rooms to keep snake rooms cold otherwise the hot spot heats up the entire enlcoser.. You actually have the opposite problem where you need a cooler cold side. Maybe that explains your very cold hotspot suggestion.
