88 to 95 degree SURFACE of what your reptile can touch temperature.
What are you using for a heat source?
What are you using to regulate your heat source?

What are you using to measure your temps and please don't tell me its the stick on analogs LoL
Digital is the way to go and you want to know the surface temp, not the ambient.

Re: Ball pythons temperature
What would you recommend for thermostat and humidity readers and what would I use to get the surface temp

The best thing is to go to Lowes or Home Depot and get a temp gun (no contact) thermometer.
They will give you a good reading.

Humidity should be about 50-60% from what I've read and heard, but I am not experienced in this so don't just take it from me. In fact, just bought my first ball python today

depends on your snake. 50% normal and bump it up during shed.
I don't go by an exact number anymore. I keep it where I get clean sheds.
