Need help building my snake room

I have an 8x10 room in my basement I'm converting to make snake room. Living in New England my concerns are heating for the winter. 2 of the 4 walls are blocks so how do I go about insulating? Can I attach foam insulation board? I saw rolls if this insulation foil would that work? I thought about framing the walls but there's pipes all over the ceiling that would prevent me from doing that? How should I proceed? This is what I have to work with..

Really it is up to you, but personally I would suggest taking another look at framing the walls, installation of insulation and electrical will easy afterwards. Normally there is some way to box around pipes and what not to frame them out. if you ever move, it will look finished which is good for potential buyers.

My main problem is that pipe you can kinda see is about 6' high so if I box around it it'll be so low I'll smash my head on it and if I go to sell the house one day don't want the buyers to think midgets live here

I would frame around the pipe on both of the walls and leave it exposed. It won't look good but it works ;)

build the wall around the pipe so it passes through the wall

What is the pipe for? I say relocate it to the ceiling if possible.

Put some 3/4" lath on the block walls, 1/2" foam insulation and then drywall after all your electric is done. Put in a simple drop ceiling and you'll have a nice finished room. A $50 oil filled radiant heater will keep that space perfect in the cold months.

I am going to suggest a different approach. It is not a huge space so this should not run massively expensive. I would frame it up normally, Insulate it with either fibreglass or extruded foam insulation (blue or pink). The interior is likely to be warm and humid, Drywall tends to respond poorly to these conditions so I would avoid it. I personally would use something like:

It is resistant to water and pre-finished once it is up you are basically done. It will not remove humidity from the air the same way drywall will and is more durable. It costs more but saves a lot of time, and does not need to be painted, so in the over all scheme it may be about the same price. Absolutely if you have to hire drywallers.
