I can't think of any problems but I decided to post this just in case anyone had prior experience to a similar setup and found a problem. SO if anyone sees any potential problems as far as heat and air movement, please chime in. Or any other problems with this kind of snake room idea. Thanks!
Hook your space heater up to a thermostat. Don't point the fan directly at one rack as the temps in this rack will be drastically different than the rest of the room. I'd actually get a few of the desk oscillating fans to circulate heat evenly. Do you have any back up plans if you loose power? Make sure there is a lock on your shed so no one can steal your snakes or other items. And have you made plans for summer yet? How are you going to cool?
