I keep my temps at 95 F 24 hours a day from the middle of March till around November. This is on the hot side only, the cool side is around 75-85 F. Your snake will decide which temp it prefers and head towards that side. In the winter months I still keep the warm side at 95 for the daytime hours, but I decrease the temp to 75-85 at night.

In general, for a young ball, keeping temps high is a good thing and will help you avoid repiratory infections and stubborn eating.
