    I had a cheap single pane window in my snake room. I found some real thick Styrofoam insulation, probably 2-3 inches thick, the pink stuff, I think it's used for houses. I cut it to size and duct taped around the edges. It holds heat as well as an outside wall. I just draped a blanket over it and put a snake rack in front of it LOL. Can't even tell it's there. Someday I'll replace the window with a double pane.

    For my snake room I also used 'luxury vinyl flooring'. You can get it a Home Depot. Its basically strips of rubberized flooring that you can snap together, don't even need to glue them down. You can easily cut it with tin snips. It's pretty expensive but I got lucky and found it on sale for 75% off. I put it directly on the concrete floor and it insulates so well the floor stays warm from the space heater, pretty amazing stuff.

    It took me a few days just to do my floor and it wiped me out too, I was a lot more sore than I thought I was going to be. I think with the excitement of building something new you tend to push yourself hard until you have to take a break LOL. Your room looks good so far!
