wouldn't dwarf caiman and monitors belong there tho?

Yeah. Is not perfect... iguanas should be in the habitat map for instance. Same for amphibians imo. But then it is a mess to organize lol
therefore i thought it is best to go with what game defines as exhibit and habitat
Still waiting for the day once they can roam free and can achieve their true potential
Guys, revolutionary take.
Why dont we just put the sloth and bat on both maps so that everyone is happy?

Not really… in my experience iguanas (and amphibians) are generally in exhibit-type boxes (in reptile houses or similar) whilst monitors are generally in open enclosures. That’s just my experience, though and I fully acknowledge it may not be representative of zoos in general.
While I've never seen iguanas in a dedicated large habitat, I did see them in large habitats shared with larger mammals, like sloths and agoutis.

hot take but why dont we have animals from the habitat market in the habitat map , and animals from the exhibit market in the exhibit map
I have seen iguanas in 8 different zoos, not a single one had them in a typical terrarium set up.
My local zoo for example keeps them in their tropical dome, where green iguanas share a sizeable open enclosure with carribean bullfrogs, giving them equal if not more space then their monitors and small crocodilians (african dwarf, australian fresh water and curviers dwarf caiman).
Most other zoos ive been to they either where free roam in tropical houses or chared their habitats with monkeys, agoutis and the likes
I would say you are probably more likely to see Green Iguanas like this in Europe, than you are to see them in a more traditional terrarium.
But there is always a lot of people who tend to find this hard to believe.
I agree with @Captain Callum on this and have it divided by the in game markets. (Habitat and exhibit) If we don’t do that then just having them all together is an option but the map would be incredibly cluttered.
Because it goes against the purpose for which these maps were made for. I made a detailed post explaining my position.
You can disagree, but framing the "new" division as a ridiculous notion with sarcasm is not productive to the discussion.
Fair enough - as I say, I’m just speaking from my own experience. Perhaps iguanas are not in open style enclosures here (austrslua) because there’s a chance they might survive / breed whereas it’s too cold in (most of) Europe?
I haven't been following the discussion much so I just saw people suggesting new maps for sloths and crocodiles and such so I suggested what I thought would be the sensible option. Not sarcasm in any way
Also if I'm sarcastic it's very very obvious

I vote to keep WE animals on the exhibit map, unless we have another situation like with the butterflies in which 4-5 animals get added in one go. I'd also support doing this if flying birds are added into the WE system, and not a new one called "aviaries" or something.
I vote keep on exhibit map
I vote butterflies on exhibit, bats and sloths on habitat.
Habitat animals on the habitat map, exhibit animals on the exhibit map... keep it simple.
Me too.
