So I have been using a bedroom that I turned into an enclosure for my adult leopards for a couple of years now. It worked great, but I want them out of my house. I put up a Tuff Shed, and am converting it to a leopard barn. We are fully insulating it of course since I live in Spokane Valley WA. Cold winters! I have found this to be the best option in this part of the country.
We have the insulation done on the walls and ceiling, my wonderful hubby got the doors built. There are 3 incase I need to divide things at any point. I like multiples, so one cannot block the others anyway. We will insulate the floor, and put a floating floor on top of it.
Anyway here is a few pics of where we are.

Nicely insulated! Very thick. I thought about getting a Tuffshed. It looks like quality.

Using R19. Need all the help I can get on electric bill up here. They are well worth the money. I have one for my Russians and love it!

Looks good. One thing that I found really helps to keep the heat where you need it is a ceiling fan. I have one that runs on low 24/7 during the months I need to use heat. I have the heater under it but on a thermostat that is at tort level. Otherwise it gets really hot at my level while the torts are much colder.
