If you are not getting a temp of 92* somewhere in its enclosure, then you do need additional heating. There should be no temperature fluctuation.

Temperatue fluctuation is not a good thing. You need to control your temps unless you are breeding and then drop temp in the evening.....You need to get a Helix or brand of your choosing that controls the warm side temp steady at 90-94 degrees...it will adjust with your climate day to make sure it does not go above or below your desired range.......
I am new to the ball world but temperature variation is only desired in their enclosure from hot to cool side and those need to be consistent. Example being 90 degrees to 80 degrees...this allows the snake to regulate as they need to. If you allow the climate to vary your temps it will go 96-86 to 90-80 to 94 to 84 which is too much change imo. Just a thought and best of luck:)
