I've based that upon my own personal experience, granted I've only been keeping hognose for a year, as well as information I have read and learned from an extremely reputable hognose breeder.
I never go above 90. As hatchlings, yes, incrrased temps. But lowered as they get older and are eating well. The cool side I keep above 75, usually sits at 76. As for the floor space, it's a lot for a hognose, even an adult female. My sub-adult male is in a 10 gallon for life, females do extremely well in 20 gallons. Don't get me wrong, a healthy, well established adult could thrive in a larger enclosure, but the OP's snake doesn't fall in that category.
