My snakes are currently housed in my living room in a tank and a rack. My future snake room will be one of our spare 10x12 bedrooms once I get it cleaned out and fixed up. Once it's ready for its inhabitants, there should be plenty of room for what I want to do. It is in our finished basement off of our rec room/living room so it's cool The house's A/C will do fine and there will be a space heater to keep temps up where they should be.
I plan on working with boas primarily and I will be extremely selective on the individuals I'll use for breeding - partly due to their size and space considerations. But I don't feel that I need more space because I want to stay small and specialized. I really only plan to have 2-3 pairs of boas for breeding although I also plan to work with a single pair of Angolan pythons and, eventually, a pair of Indigos or black tailed cribos. The snake room will only house the snakes I'll be using for breeding and I can maximize space by using racks, even for the boas (Freedom Breeder Racks).
My GTP will remain in our living room as a center display and I do plan on having one or two additional display animals that will be in our living room or rec room. My quarantine room is our other spare bedroom where I have plenty of space for a moderate-sized rack that holds both 27qt tubs and shoe-box tubs. I can have anywhere from 1-10 animals in quarantine at a time. That bedroom is, ironically, where my sugar gliders are kept and is also our "guest" room.
