Herpetologist Pack! - which species?!....🦎

[Purple_Possum]

I would love to see more range in reptiles, amphibians and Invertebrates. It would be cool to get a whole pack that fleshes out the herpetology range and our zoo's tropical/reptile houses. What are people's most wanted herpetology-style animals?

List of 10 animals just for fun....

Mix it up as you wish, but the 10 must include at least one of each:
Amphibians
Snakes
Testudines
Crocodilians
Lizards/Geckos
Invertebrates

My list:
1 Orinoco crocodile
2 King cobra
3 Asian vine snake
4 Jackson's chameleon
5 Madagascan day gecko
6 Alligator snapping turtle
7 Sylvia's tree frog
8 Borneo/Wallace's flying frog
9 Sickle bearing bush cricket
10 Northern Grass mantis

Pics of my list:

Gonna cheat somewhat and skip crocodilians, just cos they're proportionally extremely well represented already, but if I were picking one I'd go Nile for iconicness.

1) Coral Snake sp.
2) King Cobra
3) Mantis sp
4) Mangrove Snake
5) Marine Iguana
6) Tokay Gecko
7) Chinese or Japanese Giant Salamander
8) Alligator Snapping Turtle
9) Panther Chameleon
10) Asian Giant Softshell Turtle

Here's my list:

1. Copperhead
2. Coral snake
3. Green anaconda
4. King cobra
5. Frilled lizard
6. Philippine sailfin lizard
7. Argentine horned frog
8. Panther chameleon
9. Madagascan day gecko
10. Emerald tree boa

This is unfair, though, because I can think of a billion more to add, knowing we won't get anything more than 3, if that

You're right, we do have a decent amount of Crocodilians already, cheating acceptable!

We share the king cobra and alligator snapping turtle. Would you like to see either of these as a habitat animal? They're fairly comparable to the Nile monitor in size, so I don't see why not!
Also we're the same in choosing a gecko, mantis and chameleon, though our species differ marine iguana nearly made my shortlist, it would if I didn't include inverts!

That's a cool list!!
We are in agreement about the King cobra! Would you like to see this as a habitat animal?
We're also the same with Madagascan day gecko, we need a gecko! And m.d geckos are really splendid. I can easily imagine them in the game.
Emerald tree boa! That should of been on my short list, good choice!
Frilled lizard is also a good one! Thanks

 

[Purple_Possum]

1: Nile Crocodile
2: King Cobra
3: Green Anaconda
4: Eyelash Viper
5: Chinese Crocodile Lizard
6: Northern Caiman Lizard
7: Panther Chameleon
8: Alligator Snapping Turtle
9: Giant Weta
10: Chinese Giant Salamander

King Cobra yes! Same.
Same with alligator snapping turtle
Nile crocodile should have been on my list!
Both vote for a chameleon but different species. A chameleon would be cool, I wonder if they'd make it so when you dropped the animal in the exhibit, it turned the exhibit mesh for chameleons. That would be cool.
Giant weta good choice, would you have the giant salamander as a habitat animal? The perfect set up for that could be an exhibit double the size of the current one perhaps, and visitors could see it lurking under a big stone!

 

[Purple_Possum]

Everyone so far has included the king cobra!
Any ideas on how this animal would be in the game? Habitat or exhibit?

Easily an exhibit animal, it could get a cool temperate exhibit

I don't think so. I've only seen snakes in very small enclosures like what we have...

We're also the same with Madagascan day gecko, we need a gecko! And m.d geckos are really splendid. I can easily imagine them in the game.

Yes, yes. I love this species... It's like Yoshi in real-life...

Emerald tree boa! That should of been on my short list, good choice!

It was tough between that and the green tree python...

Frilled lizard is also a good one! Thanks

Australian lizards need some love...

I think one of the major failings of the exhibit system is the lack of diversity. (The other of course being the lack of different exhibit sizes). I understand why Frontier introduced exhibit animals with a very small set of looped animations only, as they are much less time consuming and labor intensive to produce then fully animated animals. The trade-off for these low-budget, fast-to-produce animals should be lots of diversity. Real zoos have dozens of reptile, amphibians, and invertebrates, and these species far out-number mammals in zoo collections. For example, poison frogs should receive a similar treatment to the butterflies, with five species from the same family: Dendrobates tinctorius (Blue poison frog), D. leucomelas (Bumblebee poison frog), D. auratus (Green-and-black poison frog), Oophaga pumilio (Strawberry poison frog), Epipedobates anthonyi. Personally I think the exhibit system wouldn't be so unpopular if players actually had enough species options to customize the exhibit choices in their zoo. You could easily add 10 amphibians, 10 invertebrates, 10 lizards, 10 venomous snakes, and 10 non-venomous snakes to the game.

1. Reticulated python
2. Cobra (spectacled/Indian or King)
3. Frilled Lizard
4. Panther Chameleon
5. Tokay Gecko
6. Panamanian Golden Frog
7. Gooty Sapphire Ornamental Tarantula
8. Madagascar Giant Hissing Cockroach
9. Mata mata turtle
10. Honduran milk snake (there are so many beautiful colubrids, it was really hard to narrow down)

4. Panther chameleon (probably the most recognisable Madagascan exhibit species)
5. Mangrove cat snake (my favoured snake choice for Southeast Asia)
6. Red spitting cobra (one of the more beautiful cobras, and ideal Horn of Africa representation)
7. Cane toad (a Central and South American species; the first toad in the game)
8. Luristan newt (the first Central Asian exhibit species, an endangered and beautiful newt with strong captive presence)
