What is a Vivarium Room? The term "vivarium" comes from the Latin words for "place for" and "living things." In short,. That can include 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 they are used to house animals and/or plants under conditions simulating a natural environment. These microecosystems are crucial for observing life under certain conditions, or humanely housing animals who are being tested for research purposes. Things to Consider When Getting a Vivarium Room in Houston, TX There are several environmental controls needed for a well-functioning vivarium room. For your needs in Houston, TX, you need to know that your controlled environment room is capable of meeting them all: Lighting — Different plants and animals need different levels and types of lighting that meet their adapted needs. Reptiles, amphibians, and other animals need sunlight to warm themselves, while some plants do best in the shade. 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 — In a similar vein, some animals have little tolerance for high humidity and temperature, while others need it to survive. Heat can be sourced from a building's system or heat lamps. Air Quality — Proper air flow is crucial for circulating air, preventing mold growth, stopping the proliferation of harmful bacteria, and balancing the ventilation between the holding room and vivarium room. There are numerous exhaust fan options available, depending on the temperature and humidity of the room in question. An animal or plant's habitat plays a fundamental role in their well-being. You require a precise vivarium room to ensure the integrity of both your specimens and research in Houston, TX.
