Depending on where you might live a basement would be the best place for a snake room in my own opinion. What I mean by that is depending on where you live you wont have a basement or more specifically as in my case I live in flood zone so while my basement would be nice to use it can flood. Also with my basement right now with it being 29 degrees outside its still 53 degrees in my basement, in the summer when its 90 degrees outside its 60 degrees in my basement. Humidity actually for my basement is to great and needs to be cycled with a dehumidifier. In my house the snake room is on the second floor with all the natural lighting I need if I didn't have it blocked out.

Depending on your basement heat might be the major concern especially if its unheated. Also air quality depending on the basement might be an issue as well.

Another concen especially if you are using rack system would be lighting and light cycles..
