great project Gareth!
Serpent has posted some great hints and tips there, I certainly recommend insulating the floor! and yes keeping the shed COOL in the summer may well be your biggest problem, especially as you have painted it black.
Good luck, look forward to more photos.

I was going to say that, I would imagine a black shed would get extremely hot in the summer. White would be a good idea for a rep shed, might not make that much difference though.
I'm in the process of setting up a new shed suitable for reptiles, it's metal with a white roof but I think I will definitely need some sort of air cooler for the summer.
Look forward to seeing how it progresses.

Alternately plasterboard or OSB

Normally you would frame out the wall and cut the kingspan just tight enough to push fit between the the timbers and then plasterboard over the top.
