Nothing to worry about at least not yet. I agree that you could bump the hot side temperature up a little. I keep my BP's in 48" x 24" x 12" (L x W x H) sized cages, so it can be done. Your BP might just need some time to settle in, or it could be totally unrelated and the timing was just bad.
Sounds like you are using a glass tank, is their the case?
If so you could try "blacking out" 3 sides (left, right, back) this will make your BP feel more secure in his cage, and might help with feeding. This can be accomplished by taping construction paper to the outside of the cage. You could also use insulation board. this helps maintain temperatures as well as providing more security.
