I Have a Safari Park

After designing the service area, Fang Ye continued to design the various exhibition boxes of the amphibious reptile hall!

Although the space of each exhibition box is very small, the complexity of the design is not low at all, which is a troublesome subject.

Therefore, he also specifically looked for some big reptiles, and consulted with them about the details of the usual feeding and care, as well as the layout and landscaping of the exhibition boxes.

During the consultation, we also issued a recruitment invitation to the big guys!

A netizen named "Lvye" has a wealth of field experience. He has been to many places around the world to observe lizards and snakes. However, he recently bought a stock on Robin Hood and was caught by leeks. His pockets are so empty that he has no money.

It just so happened that Fang Ye handed out an olive branch, and it seemed good to take care of reptiles from all over the world in the zoo, so he agreed with the flow, and he would come over in a few days.

There is also a netizen named "Holly" who has rich breeding experience. Although he is moved, he said that he is still studying abroad and will not be able to graduate until two years later, so he can only regretfully refuse, but he said that there are various All kinds of problems can be exchanged and discussed!

Speaking of the design of the exhibition box, it must be in line with the habitat of animals. Because of the limited space, there are many restrictions on the choice of plants, so some landscaping plants should be specially used, such as air pineapples and water pineapples.

Air pineapple does not need soil to grow, it can grow directly in the air, and it is a counter-growing plant. It absorbs water through the leaves and supplies nutrients to the roots. The roots have only a small amount of aerial roots to play an attachment and fixation role.

Sekisui pineapple is also a climbing plant. It is generally attached to tall rocks and trees in its origin. In order to adapt to the difficulty of water absorption by the roots during epiphytic growth, the smooth-surfaced leaves are arranged in a spiral shape, forming a series of water channels. The water droplets on the leaves collect in the center of the plant and are stored.

The accumulated water makes pineapples very suitable for frogs to inhabit and lay eggs, so it is a good choice to arrange pineapples in the exhibition box of poison dart frogs.

Moreover, the plants in the exhibition box will continue to grow, and some plants will not be suitable for fast growth, and the plants in the exhibition box may become too lush after a period of time.

In this way, the environment laid out at the beginning is more beautiful, and the various plants are scattered and layered. After the flourishing, they are mixed into a group, and the aesthetics is reduced. Another overly dense plant has a strong shading effect, which also makes it impossible for tourists to watch normally. to the animals that live inside.

In addition, there are some animals that are more active! In the exhibition box, we often crawl and drill around, so that some plants may be crushed to the ground. For these animals, we should consider choosing landscaping plants such as millennial wood with better lodging resistance.

Normally, with a properly arranged display box, plants can grow reasonably within a certain range. During the process of gradual growth, the environment of the display box will become more and more natural and beautiful, and animals in it will not cause damage to the plants. , as long as regular feeding and cleaning will do.

Fang Ye is designing a green tree python display box at this time!

Consider size first.

The exhibition boxes in the reptile hall are basically one meter above the ground, because the exhibition boxes are small, and if they are placed on the ground so close, it will be too stupid for tourists to watch.

This height is basically 20cm away, and you can see it clearly with a normal head-up view or a slight bending over.

The space under the exhibition box is not simply used for raising the position. The brand introduced by popular science will be put on the outside, and some ventilation and drainage equipment will be installed inside, and the ventilation and circulation will be carried out regularly to prevent the growth of mold in the corners of the exhibition box.

There will also be a spray and light temperature control system in the exhibition box. The ideal environment for green tree pythons to live in is 75%-85% humidity, which can tolerate a temperature of 26-33 degrees, and a comfortable temperature of 27-31 degrees.

Therefore, according to the natural environment, the temperature during the day is adjusted to 31-32 degrees, and the temperature at night is adjusted to 27-28 degrees. Through temperature control, a stepped temperature difference is created at different times of the day, which is also beneficial to the health of snakes. of.

As for the light-on time and the park's business hours, the light has no effect on the green tree python, but it affects the growth of the plants in the exhibition box, and tourists also need light for better viewing.

The exhibition box is divided into different specifications according to the size and living habits of the animals. The green tree python is 70 cm wide by 1.5 meters long by 1 meter high.

Although the green tree python usually likes to wrap around the trunk of the tree when it is full and do not move, the space can be a little smaller, and the length of 50cm is sufficient, but in that case, the placement of the perch is more limited.

In a larger space, the perches can be placed diagonally, the whole arch bridge or something. This kind of environment is more sculptural, and the rocks on the side can also be enriched to increase the sense of hierarchy.

Sunken wood is the skeleton of the exhibition box, so the next step is to select the sunken wood, so that the next step can be arranged according to the appearance of the sunken wood.

Although it is not possible to design the exhibition box of the crawler hall directly through the system, it is still no problem to provide some plants and landscaping materials!

Fang Ye kept throwing out sinking trees on the construction interface, and the appearance of sinking trees was randomly generated each time. Look for which shape is more suitable for your heart, and finally buy the green leaf coins you want to use.

In the end, I saw a good-looking one. The main trunk was about the thickness of an adult arm. The cracks were natural in shape, with a small curvature in the middle. The most important thing was that there were a few crooked auxiliary trunks.

This sinking wood can be cut off and placed obliquely. The left side is placed at the bottom and the right side is against the uneven wall at the back edge of the exhibition box. One side is low and the other side is high. The unnecessary auxiliary stems in the middle are removed. Refers to the thickness of the auxiliary trunk as the usual resting place of the green tree python.

After the sunken wood is placed obliquely, the auxiliary trunk becomes horizontal and extends downward slightly, so that the green tree python inhabits the position of the golden section of the exhibition box, and the viewing effect is better. After spraying, I said You may even see crystal water droplets on the emerald green tree python.

Green tree pythons generally live in high places and do not come down to drink water. Most of the time, they rely on the water droplets on their bodies to replenish water. In the wild, they rely on natural dew. In the exhibition box, they can only rely on spraying.

Several cut off curved auxiliary stems can also be fixed on the edge, staggered left and right up and down, more dense forest feeling.

Because green tree pythons mostly live in tropical rain forests and bushes, the plants at the bottom of the tank are reticulated grass with oval leaves, ash moss and some ferns, and some mosses are arranged on rocks and sinking wood. The boss told him that the green tree python prefers the touch of pure wood, so the auxiliary trunk left for the green tree python to inhabit is not arranged with moss.

Because the green tree python is not an active type, you can put some air pineapples in the places where the edges are not often visited, and the plants on the background board are vine-like lilies. Xueli is also a very common landscaping plant. The small leaves are not easy to block the sight, and the climbing ability is strong.

The rich green vegetation looks like a rainforest environment at first glance, which together create a moist feeling of the tropical rainforest. Some drooping wood whiskers can be set at the top, which is reminiscent of drooping vines or the lush roots of big trees, which reflects the atmosphere of the rainforest.

"Hey~ reptiles are really troublesome~"

Fang Ye stretched his back, there are still a lot of exhibition boxes to design, and he will discuss with the civilian staff at the morning meeting tomorrow.
