Default Good idea... Bad idea?

So, I'm moving into a house that has a shed in the back garden.. I came up with the genius idea that I could basically turn the shed into a spare room and keep all my vivs in it.

There's a heater in there already on a timer. The snakes would obviously still have their bulbs and mats and stuff.

Am I being totally daft, or would that work?

Anyone else done the same?
Just an idea :p

herd somone on this form come up with that idea a few weeks ago,dont know if they did it tho?
i thinks its quite a good idea,but i would try and isulate the shed as best as bosible,and in the sumer when is hot out side i would have a fan or something to cool it down abit.i think it would work.

I understand about the hot summers thing.

But surely if they were indoors in the winter and I had the heating on I would have the same problem?

I would have thought proper ventilation, heaters in winter and fans in summer would suffice?

There must be ways around these things..
