Your Pet's Habitat Checklist

You don't need to wait until your pet gets sick to check their habitat. Even if nothing seems wrong right now, you can check the basics in 30 seconds. Pick your pet's species below, check off anything that applies, then see your result. The more boxes you check, the more room there is for improvement.

This checklist is a reference self-check you can do right now, no photo needed. If you'd like a more accurate check of your enclosure using a photo, try the "🏠 Enclosure setup" mode in AI Scan.

1. What kind of pet do you have?

2. Check anything that applies

Why check regularly?

Unlike dogs and cats, exotic pets often don't show obvious signs of illness. Habitat factors like temperature, humidity, and UVB can drift off track for a long time while your pet still looks fine on the outside — until symptoms suddenly appear. Even a setup that was done right at the start can quietly fall apart over time, like a thermometer/hygrometer battery dying or a UVB bulb reaching the end of its useful life, so it's worth checking again periodically.

When to see a vet

This checklist is only a reference tool for checking your pet's habitat. If symptoms have already appeared, skip the checklist — contact a vet right away, or check your pet's condition first with AI Scan.
