I understand your concern about windows. This really isn't that type of situation. I have the typical FL home (or maybe not) that is COMPETELY covered in windows. We have an awesome addition to our house that has 13 floor to ceiling windows. Nice, but it faces south and gets the sun traveling east to west all day. It's my big TV living room, office, herp room, rolled into one. My front living room is very small with a north facing window. It gets maybe an hour of direct sunlight in the very early am, depending on the time of year. It is the easiest room in the house to control the temps in, and the only room with a wall that can contain a Burm and a boa. Otherwise, I'm kickin' the kids out of the rooms or converting my older daughter's loft bed into a snake cage. 
I really didn't think overhead would heat a large snake as effectively as belly heat...thanks for setting me straight once again! See what happens when a science teacher gets into boids? Total chaos. I think I'm going with overhead ceramic emitters with a thermostat for heat.
Now, what about substrate?
