By "always cold" do you mean she just feels cool to the touch? That's very normal, and a cage being heated to 92-95 is on the warmer side of what it should be. Ideally you want the cool side closer to 75 with the warm closer to 88-90

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
