What Are Vivarium Rooms? The word "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 in a kid's room, to the dolphinarium at Sea World. For research purposes, vivarium rooms are also referred to as animal research facilities, and they are used to store animals and/or plants in a specific, controlled ecosystem. These kinds of microecosystems are crucial for observing organisms in a specific environment, or safely housing animals who are being tested for research purposes. Things to Keep in Mind When Purchasing a Vivarium Room in Richmond, VA There are several environmental controls needed for a well-functioning vivarium room. For your needs in Richmond, VA, you need to know that the controlled environment room can properly maintain: Lighting — Different life forms need different levels and types of lighting that meet their adapted needs. "Cold-blooded" animals warm themselves with outside heat like the sun, while some plants do best in the shade. Simulating the right light can take different types of bulbs, and your vivarium room may need a regulator to replicate light and dark periods. Temperature and Humidity — Similarly, different organisms can only survive with a temperature and humidity similar to their natural habitat. Heat can be provided through a building's system or heat lamps. Air Flow — Proper air flow is crucial for circulating air, staving off mold build-up, preventing the growth of hazardous bacteria, and equalizing the air flow between the holding room and vivarium room. There are numerous exhaust fan options we can fit for your room, depending on the temperature and humidity of the room in question. An animal or plant's habitat is as important as anything to keeping them healthy. You require an impeccable vivarium room to ensure not just the health of your specimens, but the integrity of your Richmond, VA research.
