2 x Black Vivarium / Reptile / 70mm Fine Insect Air Vents

Product Information

Any time you allow the air inside your vivarium to mingle with the air outside the habitat, the enclosure will lose two things to the surrounding environment: water and heat. Maintaining the right humidity level in a vivarium is crucial for the well-being of its inhabitants. Here are some general tips to help you achieve and maintain optimal humidity levels: Misting Frequency Settings: Adjusting the misting frequency is essential to match the vivarium's requirements. Consider factors such as the species' moisture needs, temperature, and ventilation. Fine-tune the misting frequency to prevent under or over-misting.

To achieve the correct temperature, we recommend setting up a heat bulb at one end of the enclosure. For safety, you must ensure that your reptile is unable to touch the heat source, as this can of course lead to serious burns and injuries. You can prevent this from happening with the help of a protective heat guard. Wooden vivariums are ideal for a desert environment. And as you'd expect, desert reptiles are used to open, sandy environments, drenched in heat. Adding decor to the vivarium can be a fun and creative process. But it's not just about how it looks, you need to ensure that everything you include is suitable for your reptile.The answer lies in the way air exchange can alter the characteristics of the habitat – specifically as it relates to two different parameters. Problems Caused by Excessive Air Exchange: Reduced Humidity and Lost Heat Screen will provide plenty of open space for air to flow into and out of the habitat, while still preventing your pets from escaping. Screen is not always secure enough for very large or potentially dangerous species (such as venomous snakes). But it is usually adequate for the types of frogs, lizards, small snakes that are typically kept in rainforest vivaria.

Plants draw carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen, while animals breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This means that it is theoretically possible to balance the plant and animal biomass in a vivarium carefully enough to keep it hermetically sealed. We’ll discuss each of these needs separately but be aware that they’ll influence each other to some degree. For example, adding a large water reservoir to a habitat will typically raise the humidity level too. Accordingly, you’ll often need to adjust the ways you satisfy these needs and tweak the system routinely. Drinking Water Automatic misting systems are designed to deliver controlled amounts of water into the vivarium at regular intervals. They offer several advantages.

Because plants draw in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, while animals breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, it is difficult to keep the air refreshed. This will also allow microorganisms to thrive keeping the tank clean. One of the biggest dangers to your pet’s life is probably overheating. Overheating can cause physical or neurological damage to your pet. A few adaptations to their vivarium can prevent this problem and allow them to be as happy and active as they would in nature. About Vivarium Ventilation

Habitats without sufficient ventilation may become coated in mold. Most fungi require high humidity to thrive, and they typically proliferate in habitats with damp and stagnant air. Molds (and other opportunistic microorganisms) may coat the sides of the habitat, the decorations or even the surfaces of the plants. Animals Suffering From Respiratory Infections

Available in a huge range of sizes to make it easy to find one that sits your reptile, you can choose from a range of finishes to find one that suits your home decor. Because air is a gas, and gases diffuse and expand to fill the container they’re in, all you need to do to ensure air exchange is to place a hole in the vivarium. The gas molecules in the vivarium will slowly mix with those outside the vivarium and vice versa.
