Astin,
I keep all my kings between 72-75F ambient room temp, and a warm spot between 80-83 during the day. I drop all the temps about 5-10 degrees at night.
The key is to make sure you provide a gradient for the snake to choose what temp it needs/wants to be at any given time.
Also- Tom Stevens has a great husbandry article you should check out- not just about temps, but everything you should take into consideration as a keeper of these wonderful creatures:
