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

Product Information

Personally, I prefer to begin by providing the proper amount of heat to a habitat. I then tweak the amount of ventilation and water added to maintain appropriate conditions. I err on the side of too much ventilation, rather than too little, as I don’t mind adding more water to the habitat as necessary. Using Fans in Rainforest Vivaria

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: Others, however, will not thrive in these conditions and require more moderate humidity levels. As the keeper, you must investigate the specific needs of your animal and strive to maintain the appropriate levels. Maintenance and Cleaning: Foggers may require regular maintenance and cleaning to prevent clogging or the buildup of mineral deposits that can affect their performance. Most reptiles benefit from plenty of hiding places, on both the hot and the cool side of the vivarium. Hiding places are a must so that your reptile can feel comfortable and safe in their environment.Consistency: Maintaining a consistent misting schedule helps provide a stable humidity environment for the vivarium inhabitants. Consistency is especially crucial for species with specific humidity requirements, such as tropical amphibians. This will maintain a suitable amount of fresh air, without allowing the humidity to drop to inappropriate levels. In most cases, you’ll want to employ a combination of both approaches. Vivariums are relatively easy to build, but once you've put the pieces together, there are a few other things that you need to do before it is safe to house your reptile. It is vital that you don't move your pet into the vivarium straight after sealing it. Toxic fumes are produced by the sealant and until these are cured, the fumes can be harmful to your pet. We'd recommend waiting a day or two before introducing your reptile to its new home.

Install the heat exchanger in a location where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can heat up the heat exchanger and reduce its efficiency.Equipment Choice: There are two types of hand misters that work well for smaller setups. One being a pump sprayer (they come in all sorts of sizes), and the other a continuous spray bottle. For larger setups, I highly recommend an automatic misting system. Snakes and lizards living in habitats with excessive ventilation will often experience poor sheds. This occurs because the habitat humidity will drop in response to high levels of air exchange. For problem-free sheds, most rainforest-dwelling snakes require high humidity levels. Reptiles and Amphibians Showing Signs of Dehydration Frequency: The frequency of hand misting depends on the specific requirements of the vivarium inhabitants and the environmental conditions. Monitor the humidity levels regularly using a hygrometer and adjust the misting frequency accordingly. In general, misting once or twice a day is a good starting point, but individual species may require more or less frequent misting. But how do you choose which one is going to be the best choice for your pet? In this article, we will guide you to what, in our opinion, is the best wooden vivarium housing for the more commonly kept pet reptiles. You can use plants, corkbark, branches or other items to hide the water dish and sidestep this problem.
