Dedicated Snake Rooms - Heating Question

I only have only one species in a rack system right now and I simply heat them individually with heat tape.

It's just another option is all I'm suggesting.

EDIT: I may have mis-read things but I wouldn't put a skylight in. You don't want/need the sun accidentally turning your room into a toaster oven. It has happened in similar situations before (cooking $20,000 worth of animals in the process).

I thought of the skylight due to letting some natural light in. I'll struggle to place a decent window in there due to the location of the planned extension. I know you can get special solar reflective glass to eliminate a lot of heat entering but I guess it'll be expensive.

Just have some lights in the garage hooked up to a timer and give them there day/night cycles controlled by that.

You are probably right I seem to have a habit of over engineering projects and making problems that don't exists yet
