Depends on the behavior of your animal, conditions in your room, means of temperature regulation, etc.

My personal approach for my ball/royal python is 4x2x1 pvc enclosure, 65watt Pro Heat RHP, herpstat probe hanging ~4” beneath it set to 87°. Temps inside my exo terra hide are 86-87° on the animal in that hide. He moves cool side as he pleases.

My room is 78-82° in the summer with the vent mostly closed. Winter depends what I have the radiator set at and the other species I am keeping. He still does as he pleases, eats when he feels like it, and has done so for over 10yrs as of this summer.
