You should let the snake choose...and preferably not over 90* for warm side (be sure you are reading accurately...if not, 92* might actually be a bit higher &
actually do some damage).
FYI, snakes don't always rush to the warmth when digesting: sometimes (especially with a larger meal) they appear to prefer to be cooler to slow down their
digestive process. A very large meal can spoil & bloat them to the point of harm, which is why it's best not to see how big of prey you can get your snake to
eat, but only offer prey of more moderate size (not larger than the snake's un-fed mid-body diameter) Besides not wanting to make your pet obese, meals
that are too large may be regurgitated & even harm the snake in the process.
And welcome TruhartkittCongrats on your first snake!
