What is a Vivarium Room? Latin for "place of life," a vivarium is an enclosed area where animals and/or plants can live in conditions similar to their natural habitat. That can include a range of functions and sizes, from a small aquarium in a kid's room, to Biosphere 2. In the scientific community, vivarium rooms can also be called animal research facilities, and their purpose is to maintain animals and/or plants under conditions simulating a natural environment. These microecosystems are a fundamental aspect of observing life in a specific environment, or safely housing animals who are being used for research purposes. Things to Think About When Purchasing a Vivarium Room in Austin, TX There are numerous environmental controls required for a well-functioning vivarium room. For your needs in Austin, TX, you need to know that your controlled environment room can properly maintain: Lighting — Different life forms need different levels and types of lighting that meet their adapted needs. Reptiles, amphibians, and other animals need sunlight to warm themselves, while other life forms thrive in colder, darker environments. Different bulbs offer different levels and types of heat and light, and we can also build in a controller to replicate night and day. Temperature and Humidity — In a similar vein, different life forms can only survive with a temperature and humidity similar to their natural habitat. Heat can be provided through your facility's system or special lamps. Air Flow — Proper air flow is crucial for circulating air, preventing mold growth, stopping the spread of damaging bacteria, and stabilizing the ventilation between the vivarium room and other areas of your facility. There are a variety of exhaust fan options available, depending on what works best for you. A life form's habitat is as important as anything to keeping them healthy. You require a precise vivarium room to guarantee not just the health of your specimens, but the validity of your Austin, TX research.
