every man's dream

I need ideas.......

My friend and I have just decided while sitting here at work that we are going to build the ultimate MAN CAVE!!!
He has a bunch of left over building supplies and I have a huge concrete pad we used to have a shed built over in the woods next to my house. He has enough building materials to make a frame that will span the whole concrete pad. The demensions are 20'x30'. We have planned on dividing the room into two pieces. one part is going to be 17' by 20' and the other is going to be 13' by 20'.

the larger of the two rooms is going to be the snake center. I really want to get into breeding snakes and having as many as i possibly can and also breeding the rats and mice to feed them. the mice will be kept in an outside little room that will be heated.

the smaller room is going to be the entertainment room. my friend is going to bring over his 50" tv and also run a satelite box to it. we picked up a couple couches and chairs from another friend who was looking to sell them and also we just ordered the parts to make a full functioning wet bar. with a tap on the wall. I know i'm only 20 but i figure getting a head start won't hurt anything. Best part is from my friends contracting business we will barely have to buy any construction materials. it will be heated by a fireplace and a blower. and also we have a couple heaters and a few humidifiers we are going to use in the snake room. We are also trying to find parts to make a little kitchen in it.

if anyone has any ideas that might help this project or make it better in any way please let me know. we plan to have it up and running in 3-4 months so i will try and maybe post some pics in the next couple weeks. anyone know the best way to heat a bunch of snake racks? i think im going to use heat tape on the back wall of the racks like my breeder does and i am going to custom build my racks with a great deal i got on some rubbermaids at meijer. However, i am still going to keep my personal snakes and my favorite snakes in my main house.

Thanks in advance for the advice and insite
