Granted, from the "homework" you've done thus far it's rather poor. Your ball python and possibly your sand boa could easily develop an RI due to your lower heat to accommodate the hognose.
Personally, I keep both my sand boas and ball pythons with a hot spot of 96 degrees. You could get away with 90 - 93 degrees for them if you're uncomfortable at 96.

Re: multiple species rack system
I think as long as you had a thermostat for each species, MAYBE being able to get away with sharing for ones with almost exactly the same temperature requirements you would be fine.
But that's just me.

She would also need individual heat sources for each thermostat.

Re: multiple species rack system
Ball pythons and sand boas don't need the same temps... if anything you need to bump up the flex watt to maybe 93 for the bp's.I say 92 Because recommended hot spot is 90-02 and heat will be lost through the tubs... as for ksb's don't the need hot like 95+? (Not sure been over 2 years since I had one.)
A adult female ball python won't fit into a 28qt tub...
And I have my rack on 1 t stat for 12 snakes...all tubs are at 91 degrees exact. I check daily with digital thermometer and temp gun.

If you're using flexwatt heat tape all you have to do is throw down individual strips and wire them to individual thermostats. Correct?

Re: multiple species rack system
Yes but each strip would be considered an individual heat source.

In that case then, yes, you're right about that.

Re: multiple species rack system
Watersnakes! They aren't aquatic, fit your size parameter, low temperature requirements.
Look 'em up (the aggressive stereotype doesn't hold true for most!), might enjoy one.

Re: multiple species rack system
I keep my BP at 93-96. Those temps are way too low.
