What is a Vivarium Room? Latin for "place of life," a vivarium is an artificially built space to hold living organisms, whether they be plants or animals. That can include anything from a tarantula cage in a kid's room, to the penguinarium at the Prague Zoo. For research purposes, vivarium rooms can also be called animal research facilities, and they are used to maintain animals and/or plants under conditions simulating a natural environment. These microecosystems are crucial for observing plants or animals under certain conditions, or humanely housing experimental animals. Aspects to Consider When Purchasing a Vivarium Room in St. Paul, MN There are several environmental controls necessary for a well-functioning vivarium room. For your facility in St. Paul, MN, you need to know that your controlled environment room can properly sustain: Lighting — Different plants and animals have adapted to different levels of light and heat. Ectotherms need sunlight to keep their bodies warm, while other animals thrive in colder, darker environments. Different bulbs offer different levels and types of heat and light, and we can also offer a regulator to replicate night and day. 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 an HVAC system or heat lamps. Air Flow — Proper air flow is imperative for circulating air, stopping mold accumulation, preventing the growth of harmful bacteria, and equalizing the air flow between the holding room and vivarium room. There are numerous exhaust fan options available, depending on what works best for you. An organism's habitat is as important as anything to keeping them healthy.
