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

Product Information

Ventilation will also help manage humidity. Fans and vents will keep the glass from fogging up and prevent the growth of mold. 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. 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

Water Source: Use purified water to prevent chemicals or minerals from building up and affecting the vivarium. Tap water may contain chemicals harmful to the vivarium inhabitants, particularly amphibians. Using purified water will also eliminate hard water deposits on glass. I don’t like to use fans, as I find that they don’t provide any particular value that couldn’t be attained by simply providing more space for air exchange. Instead of adding a fan, I’d just increase the screen-to-solid-wall ratio. It's widely recommended that you regularly change your UVB tubes every 6-8 months, as after this time UVB rays can lessen, resulting in your reptile absorbing less calcium. In addition to misting methods, several other factors can affect humidity levels in a vivarium. It's important to consider these factors to maintain an optimal humidity environment. Let’s discuss factors such as ventilation, substrate, and heating, and how to strike a balance between humidity and ventilation. As a general rule, the bigger the better! Size isn’t the only consideration, though; there are a number of factors that need to be taken into account to ensure that you are providing the best enclosure for your pet. Best wooden vivariums overallVentilation: Adequate ventilation is crucial for maintaining air circulation and preventing stagnant air in the vivarium. Proper airflow helps control humidity levels and prevents the growth of mold or harmful bacteria. Consider providing enough ventilation through vents, partially covered screen lids, or fans while ensuring that it does not excessively dry out the enclosure.

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. Bigger is always better! The standard recommended is the VivExotic ReptiHome AAL Bearded Dragon, which measures 120 x 62.5 x 62.5cm (48 x 25 x 25″). This really gives your young dragon room to thrive and grow! This primarily means watching for problems that may arise due to insufficient or excessive ventilation. Some of the most common signs of problems include the following: Plants Begin to Wilt But it isn’t simply good enough to raise the humidity in the habitat. You must raise it to an appropriate range. Some animals – particularly those who dwell on the damp rainforest floor or forests at high altitude, which are almost always soaked – require very high humidity levels that approach the saturation point. Before you select the wooden vivarium best suited for your new pet, it’s worth taking a few minutes to consider the following:

There are other people who claim to have kept bearded dragons on sand for many years without any health concerns. It's important to be aware of the risks so that you can make up your own mind. If you do opt for a sandy substrate, we recommend feeding your reptile by hand, to prevent them from eating sand particles along with their meal. It might sound fairly complex, but after doing your research you'll soon get the hang of things. Learning about the reptile's needs can be an interesting process, and creating and decorating your reptile's new home is all part of the fun.
