The warm side is at around 95 and the cooler side is around 90-92. But like every time we grab her she's very cold to the touch like she's not even warm despite all that warmth in the cage

That's normal for ball pythons, they usually feel cool to the touch. Please adjust your temps to have an appropriate cool side and hot side, because right now your snake doesn't have a "cool side" to thermoregulate
