Wouldn't a space heater do the job? Not one of those little box ones, but one designed to heat a whole room? Something like this.

Get an oil filled heater. Slow, steady heat and guaranteed not to burn anything down.

Re: Bal python buildings/sheds
i use a room heater. it works great for cold days/nights.
one thing you'll also need is a small (maybe window) air conidtioner. espescially in texas. you'd be supprised how fast a small room would heat up if its not attached to a house. (i know this from my room being our "guest house")

Re: Bal python buildings/sheds
you are going to want to INSULATE it, ceiling, sides, floor. As much insulation as you can get into it. The oil filled heaters will EASILY heat it, and they are practically IMPOSSIBLE to start a fire with. Also very very energy efficient.
If it has at least one window, you can put a fan into it when it gets hot and hopefuly circulate enough air to not need an AC, but you may indeed end up needing it if the inside gets too hot.
