Patent ID: 7237509

Claim:
An environmentally controlled animal habitat and display system comprising: a frame supporting at least one drawer having a first compartment defining a first air filled internal environment and a second compartment defining a second air filled internal environment, said compartments being separated by a common divider wall operable to conduct heat directly between said environments; a first heating element in communication with said first internal environment and selectively operable to transfer heat to said first internal environment; a second heating element in communication with said second internal environment and selectively operable to transfer heat to said second internal environment; a first temperature sensor operable to measure a first temperature within said first internal environment and transmit a corresponding first temperature signal; a second temperature sensor operable to measure a second temperature within said second internal environment and transmit a corresponding second temperature signal; and an environmental control unit in communication with said heating elements and said sensors, said control unit being operable to, upon receipt of said first and second temperature signals, transmit a command signal to said first and second heating elements to selectively regulate said first and second temperatures.
