Chapter 181: Green Tree Python Exhibition Box
After designing the service area, Fang Ye continued to design the exhibition boxes of the amphibian and reptile pavilion!
Although the space of each box is small, the complexity of the design is not low, and it is a troublesome subject.
So he also went to find some big guys who raised reptiles, and consulted them about the details of their usual breeding and care, as well as the layout of the exhibition box.
During the consultation, we also sent out an invitation to the bigwigs to recruit!
A netizen named "Green Field" has a lot of experience in the field, and has been to many places around the world to observe lizards and snakes, but recently bought a stock on Robin Hood and was found to be a leek by Karma, and his pocket is empty and he has no money.
It just so happened that Fang Ye handed out an olive branch, and it seemed that it was not bad to take care of reptiles from all over the world in the zoo, so he naturally agreed, and he would come over in a few days.
There is also a netizen named "Holly" who has rich breeding experience, although he has some intentions, but he said that he is still studying abroad and will not graduate until two years, so he can only regretfully refuse, but said that there are various problems that can be exchanged and discussed!
The design of the exhibition box should not only conform to the habitat of the animals, but also have many restrictions on the choice of plants, so it is necessary to use some landscaping plants, such as air pineapples and stagnant water pineapples.
Air pineapples grow without soil, they can grow directly in the air, and they are reverse-growing plants, absorbing water through the leaves and supplying nutrients to the roots, and only a small amount of aerial roots in the roots play an attachment and fixing role.
In order to adapt to the difficulty of water absorption by the roots during epiphytics, the smooth leaves are arranged in a spiral shape to form a series of aqueducts, and the water droplets that fall on the leaves are gathered in the center of the plant for storage.
The accumulated water makes the waterlogged pineapple very suitable for frogs to inhabit and lay eggs, so it is a good choice to arrange the watered pineapple in the display box of the poison dart frog.
In addition, the plants in the display box will continue to grow, and some plants will not grow at the right rate quickly, and the plants in the display box may become too lush after a while.
In this way, the environment is more beautiful at the beginning, all kinds of plants are uneven and staggered with a sense of hierarchy, and after the luxuriant are mixed together, the aesthetics are reduced, and then a too dense plant shading effect is too strong, and it also makes it impossible for visitors to enjoy the animals living in it normally.
In addition, there are some animals that are more active! In the exhibition box, often crawling around, drilling around, so that some plants may be pressed down, for these animals should consider choosing landscaping plants such as millennium wood with better lodging resistance.
Normally, a reasonably arranged exhibition box, plants can grow reasonably within a certain range, and the environment of the exhibition box will become more and more natural and beautiful in the process of gradual growth, and the animals will not cause damage to the plants in it, as long as they are fed and cleaned up regularly.
Fang Ye was designing the display box of the green tree python at this time!
Start by considering size.
The exhibition boxes in the reptile hall are basically one meter above the ground, because the exhibition boxes are small, if they are so close to the ground, tourists will be too stupid to watch, and the animals will not be able to squat down if they crawl on the ground.
This height is basically 20cm away, and it can be seen clearly by normal eye level or slight bending over.
The space under the exhibition box is not simply used to raise the position, the outside will be put on the popular science introduction brand, and some ventilation and drainage equipment will be installed inside, and the ventilation circulation will be carried out regularly to prevent mold from growing in the corners of the exhibition box.
There will also be a sprinkler and light temperature control system in the display box, and the ideal environment for the green tree python to live is 75%-85% humidity, which can tolerate temperatures of 26-33 degrees and comfortable temperatures of 27-31 degrees.
Therefore, according to the natural environment, the temperature is adjusted to 31-32 degrees during the day and 27-28 degrees at night, and the temperature difference is created at different times of the day through temperature control, which is also beneficial to the health of snakes.
As for the lighting time and the business hours of the park, the light has no effect on the green tree python, but it affects the growth of the plants in the exhibition box, and visitors also need light to better watch.
The exhibition boxes are divided into different specifications according to the size and living habits of the animals, with a width of 50cm, a height of 50cm, 70cm and a meter.
The green tree python usually lives in the trees, of course, with a one-meter-high display box, and the length is also one meter.
Although the green tree python usually likes to wrap itself around the trunk of the tree when it is full of food and drink, the space can be a little smaller, and the length of 50cm is enough, but in that case, the perch placement is more limited.
The larger space can be placed diagonally, the whole arch bridge or something, such an environment is more stylish, and the rocks on the side can also be enriched to increase the sense of hierarchy.
The sunken wood is the skeleton of the exhibition box, so the sunken wood should be selected to make the next step according to the appearance of the sunken wood.
Although it is not possible to design the crawling pavilion exhibition box directly through the system, it is still no problem to provide some plants and landscaping materials!
Fang Ye kept throwing out sunken wood in the construction interface, and the appearance of the sunken wood was randomly generated each time, so observe and find which shape is more in line with your heart, and finally buy it with the green leaf coin.
Finally, I saw a good-looking trunk, the main trunk was about the thickness of an adult's arm, the cracks were natural in shape, there was a small bend in the middle, and the most important thing was that there were a few crooked auxiliary stems.
This sunken wood can be cut off and placed diagonally, the left side is placed at the bottom, and the right side is leaned against the uneven wall at the back edge of the exhibition box, one side is low and the other side is high, and the unnecessary auxiliary stems in the middle are removed, and a few three-finger-thick auxiliary trunks are used as the usual resting place of the green tree python.
After placing the sunken wood diagonally, the auxiliary stem becomes horizontal, extending slightly obliquely, so that the position of the green tree python will be located at the golden section point of the exhibition box, and the viewing effect is better.
Green tree pythons generally inhabit in high places, will not come down to drink water, most of the time by licking the water droplets on the body to replenish water, in the wild is by natural dew, in the exhibition box can only rely on spray.
A few truncated curved auxiliary stems can also be fixed to the edges, staggered left and right, up and down, giving it a more dense forest feel.
Because the green tree python mostly lives in tropical rainforests and shrubs, the plants at the bottom of the tank use oval leaves of reticulated grass, large gray moss and some ferns, and some mosses are arranged on rocks and sunken wood.
Because the green tree python is not an active type, you can put some air pineapples in the places that are not frequented on the edges, and the plants on the background board are vine-like sageli. It is also a very common landscaping plant, with small leaves that are not easy to obscure the view, and has a strong climbing ability.
The abundant green vegetation looks like a rainforest environment, creating a moist feeling of a tropical rainforest, and some hanging whiskers can be set at the top, reminiscent of down-to-back vines or the lush roots of large trees, which reflects the atmosphere of the rainforest.
"Eh~Reptiles are really troublesome~"
Fang Ye stretched his waist, there are still a lot of exhibition boxes that need to be designed, and he will discuss it with the civilian staff when he meets tomorrow morning.
