Re: Reptile Shed Conversion

How goes it fellow ohioan?! As far as turning a shed into a snake room, honestly it might be a lot of work. I absolutely wouldn't keep them in there during our summers with no air conditioning. Assuming we have a cool mild summer it probably wouldn't be an issue. But you would want to be ready for the worst if it got hot. You wouldn't want to be scrambling last minute to get things in order.

My suggestionwould be to put pallets on the floor to raise the floor height and insulate the gap. Stud the walls and insulate them as well. You dont need to get all crazy with drywall or anything, just use whatever materials you can get your hands on for cheap. Same should be done to the ceiling/roof.

Then you should have both a way to heat and cool the room controlled by a thermostat. And make sure no animals from outside could get in and cause any issues.
