the addiction begins

If you have a garage door stuck open(to outside?) You need more than just drapes. You need something insulated. Building an unfinished wall is not hard at all.

Roll up door or walk through door?

sounds like the garage is totally unsuitable in its current state. if you are determined to use it, it'll need a remodel. new door and insulated walls and roof.

Opinion: If you can't afford to fix your garage door right you may want to venture in something else.

No offense but if you can't afford to fix your garage door then stop now. I don't know were you live but I'm sure its not 60-70 all year long. What would you do if it hits 100 outside??????? Then you need an a/c. How are you going to afford that with the garage door open??????? I think you need to take 20 steps back and think hard about this for the safety of the snakes.

I'm looking into building a wall to separate this room entirely from the garage. It has a roof and 3 insulated walls. So I would only need to close it up with that last wall

Honestly I think you need to take these wonderful users advice to heart. To me it sounds like you are just going to get yourself into a situation that will only get worse as time goes on. Take a step back and truly think about the health and well being of the animals you want to care for, not only you and your situation. You want to be the sole provider and care taker of these amazing animals, and this brings a lot responsibility along with it. Sometimes we want something so badly that we bypass all rational thought to get it.

Take some time and get either a room or the garage in order, built, insulated, and all your temps/humidity all dialed in. Get everything in place so that if/when you do get a snake you have a wonderful, safe and stress free home to bring it to.

Best of luck to you, I hope you truly take time and think about what you want and the repercussions of those decisions a year or so down the line. There is no rush, enjoy the process :)

It sounds a little iffy to me... Like a situation that in temperature extremes it would be impossible to control their temps safely

Is there perhaps another room that you could keep them? If you start with one then why not keep it in your room, and start on fixing the garage and then when the garage is fixed you can move the snake into it, and get more snakes down the line.

I'll be keeping the spider in my room for now and I will start on the wall in the garage. My mother has a fear of snakes and reptiles in general so she said I could use the garage to keep my pets there. That's why I'll have to save up some money to work on the garage. So cal weather isn't that extreme so I think I'll only need a heater for night times and winter but who knows. I will update this thread when the wall is up . Thanks for the opinions
