Sad... Anybody have solutions?

One of my good friends is selling his collection and will give me a killer deal. They are bad***. My snake room is an old refrigerator semi truck off the wheels behind my house.

That's awesome! I wish I had friends like yours!

It looks like putting up makeshift insulation will be one of your best bets. If you have free reign over the truck, and you're feeling ambitious, you could build a frame out of 2x4s and staple Mylar fabric to it for a wall. At least that way you'd have converted one big room into two for easier ambient temperature maintenance. It seems easier to get things warmer rather than cooler, so I'd set your temps around the ratsnakes and heat up the python racks as necessary. At least the temperature spread isn't insurmountable, a lot of people have pythons and keep their homes in the low 70s.

Here's what I found for Mylar, doesn't seem too expensive:

Best of luck!

You should be able to divide that up and control temps to where you need them. Just frame it out and insulate where needed. And by the way your snake 'room' is a lot bigger than mine is. That should also make it easier going to shows, no packing or packing just driving.

lol i took the wheels off and ran electricity to it.. so we are still packing. yea it should be fairly simple to frame. i need to add an ac because i live in the desert

here it is in its final resting place. what i have done with paneling that i bought cheap(they have rust but not as bad) it gives it a squared off look and the wheels are off. the other pic is the current inside (i need to work!)

Oh i thought you had all of your snakes in there. Its still a neat idea though.
