Nice picture! Now that one reminds me of the Easterns that I use to catch!

Some of this I am probably going to have to chalk up to individual variation, although I now regret even more trading that outgoing, gluttonous black tail cribo that I owned years ago. I just assumed that was normal for them. I have force fed an Australian olive python for a year which will just now take brained mice left overnight, so these are still easy in comparison, and now I will worry less. I also bought them from a very reputable guy but in a cooler climate. They may just be "adapting" slowly to their new latitude and they may tolerate the mid 80's you mentioned later in life.
