A basking spot of 90F is not unheard of (I keep mine at about 88), but all pythons need a thermal gradient, that is a RANGE of temperatures in their enclosures from which to choose, to properly thermoregulate. The low end should sit in the mid to low 70s F, and yes, it can certainly drop a little bit at night.



The entire cage should not be 90F, let alone the whole room. Go get yourself some ice water and set your roommate straight.
