OVERVIEW OF DEVICES AND SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING THE MICROCLIMATE IN THE TERRARIUM

Abstract

This work examines the conditions for keeping reptiles at home. The need to develop a system for microclimate control in terrariums is justified. The main microclimate parameters that create the best conditions for exotic animals at home were analyzed. These parameters include temperature, humidity, light and UV levels. It was determined that the specified parameters are key for control, and their measurement and regulation should be the basis for developing a microclimate control system. Examples of existing devices and systems that ensure the creation and maintenance of a microclimate in a terrarium are considered. These examples are both proprietary and commercially available. All of them have their own certain shortcomings, so all the points that the information and measurement system must meet were determined.
