What Are Vivarium Rooms? The term "vivarium" comes from the Latin words for "place for" and "living things." In short,. That can be a range of functions and sizes, from a small aquarium on a teenager's desk, to the penguinarium at the Prague Zoo. For research purposes, vivarium rooms can also be called animal research facilities, and their purpose is to store animals and/or plants under conditions simulating a natural environment. These kinds of microecosystems are crucial for observing plants or animals in a specific environment, or humanely housing animals who are being tested for research purposes. Things to Consider When Purchasing a Vivarium Room in Columbus, OH There are a variety of environmental controls required for a well-functioning vivarium room. For your needs in Columbus, OH, you need to know that the controlled environment room is capable of meeting them all: Light — Different life forms have adapted to different types of lighting and heating. Reptiles, amphibians, and other animals warm themselves with outside heat like the sun, while other life forms thrive in colder, darker environments. Different bulbs offer different levels and types of heat and light, and your vivarium room may need a regulator to simulate light and dark periods. Temperature and Humidity — Similarly, some animals have little tolerance for high humidity and temperature, while others need it to thrive. Heat can be provided through an HVAC system or special lamps. Air Flow — Proper air flow is essential for circulating air, stopping mold build-up, preventing the proliferation of harmful bacteria, and balancing the air flow between the holding room and vivarium room. There are a variety of exhaust fan options available, depending on what works best for you. An organism's habitat plays a fundamental role in their health.
