Temps of 80-82 to 90-92 will not cause soaking in western hognose snakes but will alleviate most feeding and reproductive issues. If one doesn't mind encountering these issues, by all means go with the "normal" temp ranges for other north american colubrids of low 70's to low 80's.

I'm not gonna claim that I'm an expert on hognoses but I've yet to see a snake that I can't keep the way I do. However until I grab one of these little guys I'll defer to those who have.
