Does anyone else do this? What kind of heating/cooling do you have in there? Do you still use heating on the snakes' enclosures during the warm, summer months? Also remember I'm moving to Austin. So very warm and very humid.
Any help would be much appreciated!
You can line the inside of the shed walls with reflectix and insulation.

For heat you can set up a thermostat to an oil filled radiator.

For cooling you can buy a window vented air condition with a thermostat.

Or a casement A/C for a small window.......

Without air conditioning, an exterior temp of 99 degrees will mean an interior temp of well over a hundred. The reflectix and the a/c can keep that temp around 82 or so.

I would also stay away from a metal shed. Building the shed in a shaded corner of the yard also helps.
