We have no large snakes at all, and it's weird.
DLCs if support continues throughout 2023...! What are your 6 more DLCs?

The lord Howe island stick insect is not the common stick insects found in zoos. It looks less like a stick and more like an elongated cockroach. It's not an appealing inclusion on its own, at least to me. The only thing going for it is the conservation story behind it.However if we should get it I personally would not have anything against it. Stick insects are visually very distinct from the giant leaf insect. But yes, there are perhaps other exhibit animals which are more priority. I would like to see a cobra species, a gecko, a chameleon and in case of insects I would find the mantis a very interesting pick. I must say these insects seem always a bit spooky to me
Thing is, Frontier chose it at one point, and any developer is more likely to reuse scrapped assets than completely toss them. It just makes economic sense (which is also why we keep getting "reskinned"/"cloned"/"insert word of choice" animals; it's just easier). Besides, we know they're more than happy to pick the uncommon animal over the common one in several cases. I don't even want the LH stick insect, I just think we're going to get it eventually anyway.
Huh That's would be great, But Really Where Is all the Huge Snakes Like Green Anaconda and Burmese Python I'm think we need them so much also If we will ever get one of those like the green anaconda i'm think we will see a update with that for exhibits with the sizes or Maybe exhibit without glass and I just want this update too much
I mean where they originated from definite is still debated but they've been legally their own species for many years, at least in the US, I mean its was part of the class of 67 before even the endangered species act was around. there was even a study released in 2000 that said that DNA data from red wolves (and eastern Canadian wolf) show no mtDNA sequences from grey wolves and state that they believed that the two species diverged from the coyote 150k-300k years ago. Also just aesthetically this would make more sense as they look EXTREMELY similar to a coyote compared to a grey wolf. I think a lot of people get them confused with the Mexican wolf which is declared a subspecies of grey wolf, I know I had a few professors that did
I know now what you mean. To be honest I just thought it would be a normal stick insect and did not look up some pictures before today. After checking its conservation story on Wikipedia it would have fit perfectly into the conservation pack, too. But I am happy we got the Axolotl in the end.
I just wish the bloody colour morphs weren't so rare. I wanted to recreate the axolotl group I had at home (two wild-type, two golden, one white) but after buying and selling, pfft, 200 of the buggers I didn't even find one that wasn't the standard colour.
Weird, for me they ere rather common. 1 in 20 is a rare morph I'd say. However I've never seen a golden one. Only black, pink and dotted pink.
Im starting to think there wont be any dlc snake or even arachnid, because arhanophobia and ophidiophobia are most common animal phobias out there. Frontier put as much of them as possible in base game just to not include them in dlcs with only one exhibit animal per pack. Poor snakes and negative stereotypes.
Yea I Definitely understand what u trying to say but also frogs we got some in the base game but we have got some also in dlcs if will be more dlcs in 2023 I'm think we will see a least one snake cause like burmese python It's classic animal in zoos in every zoo I was there was a burmese python and huh I just will love to have burmese python in my zoos
We got four amphibians and three salamanders/newts in a row. It wouldn't be a stretch to get four reptiles in the next four DLCs. I'd say now that we have salamanders, it's time to introduce chameleons and geckos. Great snakes would also be cool, but Frontier may think the exhibit boxes are too small (even though they're commonly kept in boxes that size or smaller).
We have to get some other basic snakes at some point like boas, pythons and cobras. Even the green anaconda (although i prefer it as a habitat animal). Chameleons and geckos are also necessary. And i would like some other turtle, like a mata mata or alligator snapping turtle (but again, i prefer it as a habitat animal).
Many of these animals are in the grey area between habitat and exhibit.
Ideally we will get some system where exhibit species can be kept outside of exhibits, or where we can remove the box and customise it more. But until then, I think large snakes and turtles are unlikely.
- I think it would make sense to make lizards exhibit species with the exception of monitors, as has been the case so far.
- Snakes have all been exhibit species, but some zoos keep anacondas or reticulated pythons in a kind of pit, so a (small) habitat would be possible. However, with Frontier's terrain requirements I don't think making a realistic snake habitat is feasible.
- Turtles are perhaps even more difficult. Sea turtles (if we get them) are clear habitat species, as are large tortoises. However, there's a point where smaller tortoises would work better for exhibits. Freshwater turtles is where it becomes especially tricky. Plenty of zoos keep small species in open ponds but at the same time larger species like snapping turtles will do more than fine in a 4x4m exhibit as they barely move anyway.
Ideally we will get some system where exhibit species can be kept outside of exhibits, or where we can remove the box and customise it more. But until then, I think large snakes and turtles are unlikely.

I think if they're comfortable keeping the green iguana in the box (as they should be), they probably won't have any issues with big snakes.
I hope maybe maybe now after all shop counter we will get a more size of exhibits it just would be a huge step for the game and after that I'm think more people will injoy with exhibits

I agree, but then we got the dwarf caiman in a habitat with absurd requirements. It's a very grey area apparently. I personally think larger boxes and boxless exhibits would make a huge difference.
I would not think that either a Cobra or a Chameleon would be a free update gift. They're the two exhibit animals that I think could help sell the pack. In fact, I'm thinking it's possible a Cobra would be the very rare case where the exhibit animal could potentially be the "star" animal, if there's not another one.
