I tried to include as many taxonomic groups and geographic regions as possible:

Turtles
1. Matamata
2. Greek tortoise

Lizards
3. Tokay gecko (or any other gecko)
4. Panther chameleon (or any other chameleon)

Other reptiles
5. Tuatara
6. King cobra (or any other Asian cobra)

Amphibians
7. Axolotl
8. Oriental fire-bellied toad (from temperate Asia, as we have enough tropical and/or American frogs)

Invertebrates
9. Japanese rhinoceros beetle (not Hercules cause we already have a South American beetle)
10. Fiddler crab (I love coconut crabs, but I feel they are too big for the current exhibit size :ROFLMAO: )


I think geckos, chamaleons and Eurasian species are the most needed in exhibits.

  • Gray-banded kingsnake
  • Guatemalan palm viper

Hmmm...

Rynchocephalian Reptiles:
1. Tuatara (Must have)

Lizards:
2. Brazilian Pygmy Gecko (Look this up)

Snakes:
3. Rubber Boa

Fish:
4. Epaulette Shark (I crunched the numbers, sounds like this small, 0.9 meter shark should do fine in a 4x4x4 m exhibit. Also, do look them up. Super cool adaptations to hopping tidepools.)
5. White-spotted pufferfish (Males creates absolutely gorgeous nest in sand.

Caecilians:
6. Taita Hills Caecilian (Feeds young by growing a nutrient rich layer of skin, which the babies eat off their mother.)

Salamanders/Newts:
7. Silvery Salamnder (A triploid, kleptogenic, all female salamander genotype (Born from a hybrid crossing of two Ambystoma species).
8. Rough Skinned Newt (Produces tetradotoxin)

Frogs:
9. Pacific Tree Frog
10. Titicaca Water Frog (That should make the kids in Planet Zoo giggle a lot, given their other common name)

4. Naked Mole Rat

Reptiles
5. Brazilian Pygmy Gecko (Look this up)
6. Tuatara (Must have)

Wanna make sure before I add them, but I will not be including birds or mammals in the wishlist. Mammals because Frontier has stated (apparently) that they won't have small mammal enclosures like this.
Birds because they may get an aviary DLC, so maybe you should include the hummingbird in the aviary wishlist thread.

So, would you want to change some of youe choices or leave them?

Do fish other than the mudskipper get a pass? Or aquariums in general for that matter

Fish are ok because Frontier hasn't stated anything about them and they can be realistically kept in these enclosures.
I mean, for a lot of fish these are too big (guppies and tetras, for example)

I've seen glass aviaries, but aren't they falling out of favor?
And I'm pretty sure somebody said they don't want to add small exhibit mammals

it wouldn’t be that hard for frontier to create a version of exhibits with mesh though.

All I’ve ever seen said about this was that they ‘weren’t planned at launch.’ I don’t think they’ve ever definitively said they won’t do it.

Ah okay. I must have missed that in the first post my bad. Though not having small mammal enclosures is rather disappointing.
I did think about it, but any aviary might be too large for a bee hummingbird, like a 4x4x4 might already be too large for it to be realistically seen.

I'll edit my choices right now, thanks!
Edits are done.
