Are there any truly unique candidates for habitat reptiles?

As it stands, just about every potential habitat reptile I see discussed would be our third tortoise, our third monitor, or our fourth crocodilian. And don't get me wrong, I'm not inherently against these or anything. I'm particularly rooting for the American alligator myself. But with iguanas and snakes, and obviously anything smaller, relegated to exhibits, I've been thinking... is there anything truly unique left that could end up in habitats?

The one I see thrown around the most is probably the alligator snapping turtle, but even that one doesn't seem to have much consensus about whether it'd be better suited for exhibits or habitats. It seems a bit large for exhibits, sure, but it also seems as it would be our most sedentary animal by a large margin if left in habitats. I'd really love to see it in habitats regardless, both because it'd be a relatively unique habitat animal, and because it looks really cool.

Beyond that, though? I'm completely stumped. I'd love to see marine iguanas but as best as I can tell they aren't kept in captivity.

Alligator Snapping Turtle, I like these guys far more than the kind, slow and gentle big tortoises we already have in the game!

Also I would love the Frilled Lizard (who can be pretty big) to be in, and not in a small exibit.

I don't know if Marine Iguana's are good for zoo's? But I love these saltwater reptilians! I wanna see them in this game! Otherwise maybe the Rhinoceros Iguana?

Damn, I wished the world would have made the Moloch/Thorny Devil bigger, same for Gila Monster, Frilled Lizard, Basilisk, Panther Chameleon, why they are so small, they need to be bigger!

I'm going with the American Alligator.

Alligator snapping turtle came to mind but I think someone mentioned that most zoos have a (slightly) larger size exhibit-like habitat for them.
Not a typical habitat animal.

Well, there are sea turtles... and large freshwater turtles like the alligator snapper... some larger lizards like the Australian frilled lizard might work... other than that though, doesn't seem like there are that many options left, outside of the extinct ones...

Oh habitat reptiles, well Leopard Tortoise, American Alligator, False Gharial, Cuban Crocodile, Spectacled Caiman, Perentie, Asian Water Monitor

I agree with you 1/1

If people need more crocodiles we should get those, but that's it. Say maybe A.Alligator or N.Crocodile

Alligator Snaping Turtle is definitely exhibit species Imo

Tortoises I don't think we lack, and besides Komodo dragon there's a Nile monitor for when we want to use lizard that's not Komodo Dragon.

I saw people requesting more habitat reptiles here and there but I think that's it, we've hit the top

Well they are the size of meerkats still, so they are fine in a bigger exibit, they make more sense in a big exibit together with galapos giant turtles and non-cold smaller penguins.

Alligators need to join PZ, they are the final crocodilian missing.
Alligator snapping turtles are big and would not be suitable for an exhibit so give them a habitat with gators.
Marine Iguanas are so unique and probably won’t take up a lot of space and can live in large numbers.
Unless they give us this theoretical larger exhibit that people have been requesting.

The only other reptile I can think of is the Green Anaconda, but even then I've only seen them in exhibits, not a habitat like we make in PZ
