"I think it can be a wise idea if done correctly. There are tons of ways to adequately heat/cool small spaces. And keep in mind the more things hanging on the walls or siting on the floor consume a small spaces usability fairly quickly. "

tell me about it!!! like i said my current room is 11x7 and is good enough except all the crap my wife keeps sticking in there. vacuum, full size upright freezer, i also store my old fish tanks in there(going bye bye) as well as all my shipping supplies and extra equipment. so the space as long as its dedicated to the herps is fine. their will be storage in the rafters for shipping supplies,tanks are going bye bye and only my racks will go in there. setting my 3 larger racks together they measure roughly 8ft.
i am going to look into going bigger because i would love the extra room. just depends on what code says and how much additional cost there will be. id love to be able to get my rats out of the house as well. i only have one 5 level rat rack and then 3 lab cages and 1 10 gallon tank. i will build another rat rack and get rid of the other crap though. maybe 2 more just to up production.
thanks for the help
