I chose interior cool room with independent thermostat.

My colubrids and rattlesnakes go into a cool room. I have a finished basement and I use one of the spare rooms in that as a cool room. The room has an electric heater I set to keep the room at a minimum of 55 degrees. Sometimes during a warm spell the room gets warmer than that, but it can't get cooler.

For the pythons they remain in the snake room with an oil filled electric heater. The heat pads are turned off and the heater in on a Ranco thermostat set to 70 degrees.

I use the same set up in the rat barn, an oil filled heater on a Ranco set to 50 degrees.
