Warm enough for my hog?

    Warm enough for my hog?
    I have a total of 9 colubrids and 20 pythons, who are housed in a total of 4 snake racks... one is dedicated solely to the colubrids, with their hot-spot set around 83 (the pythons are at 90). I currently house my Western Hognose in the colubrid rack, and just wondering if that's warm enough for her? Or should I move her into a python rack? I've read a bunch of caresheets on the hognose, and they suggest something right in the middle - usually around 85 - so I'm debating whether she'd prefer warmer or cooler.

    P.S. She eats and poops fine... VERY well, in fact. ;)

    I am not a hognose expert, but I keep my hogs with a hot spot of about 90 degrees with a low end of about 78 degrees and they do well. If you can't get a low 80/high 70 low end I would leave it alone, because I think being too hot would be much worse for them.
