Hi,
If your hot spot is only 80F, that is too low. The minimum hot spot I have in my cages is the low 90s. I'm actually surprised that it ate and processed food at that temp. The mid-70s to 80 is good for the cool side of the cage, but a small basking area of at least 90 is required, otherwise all sorts of things can go wrong, including the symptoms that you are describing. If you bump the basking site up and provide a secure spot undercover, the snake should bounce back quickly, as bps are very resilient. Godd luck.
