A little concerned about temps...

After some (slight) experimenting, I've got my temps leveled out: Cold side at about 83, basking at 95, and all over at about 88. Isn't that a little too warm? I've seen some differing viewpoints on this from different references. How do you get (and keep) your temps just right? (Also, noob here, so be gentle on the technical stuff...)

Is to warm in My opinion...
Cold 78-82, ambient 82-84 (around 86 my balls leave warm hide and start look for cooler temps), hot spot 88-92:gj::gj::gj:

Ah shoot, I cut the second heat lamp off, and now its getting a little too cold. Hmmm.... He seems to be pretty pleased on the hotter side, he's been sitting there all day. I don't want to cook him, though. But hey, its been almost 100 degrees outside here and I'm not burnt crispy. Why do I want my snake to be more comfortable than me? (I do...)
