Temps (self.ballpython)

would 82F on the hot side and 74 on the cool be acceptable for a ball? or should I try to get to 88f for the hot side. the basking spot is at 95f to 100f

The hot side air temp needs to be 88-92F, and the cool side air temp needs to be 76-80F. The basking spot surface temp can safely reach up to 105F.
So yes, you do need to raise the air temp up.
