    Well I assumed that one wouldn't put snake enclosures directly under skylights, any more than they belong where sun comes in thru windows.

    The problem here is that depending on the time of year + time of day, a significant part of the room may get direct sunlight, limiting its utility as a reptile room.

    Goes without saying- that happens anywhere. I'm sure you've heard of window coverings- curtains, drapes, shades, etc.

    That looks fantastic. I'd look into adding a utility sink to that room if possible, just because that makes life so much easier in a snake room.
