After designing the service area, Fang Ye continued to design the exhibition boxes of the amphibious and crawling Museum!
Although the space of each exhibition box is very small, the design complexity is not low, and it is a troublesome subject.
So he also looked for some big men who raised reptiles to consult with them about the details of usual feeding and care, as well as the layout and landscaping of the exhibition box.
During the consultation, the recruitment invitation was also sent to the bosses!
A netizen named "LVYE" has rich 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 replaced by Chinese chives. His pocket is empty and he is too poor to have money.
Just as fangye handed out an olive branch, it seemed good to take care of reptiles in all parts of the world in the zoo, so let nature take its course and promised to come in a few days.
Another netizen named "Holly" has rich breeding experience. Although he is interested, he said that he is still studying abroad and will graduate in two years, so he can only refuse with regret, but said that all kinds of problems can be exchanged and discussed!
The design of the exhibition box should be in line with the habitat of animals. Because the space is limited and there are many restrictions on the selection of plants, some landscape plants should be specially used, such as air pineapple and ponding pineapple.
Air pineapple grows without soil and can grow directly in the air. It is an inverse growth plant. It absorbs water through its leaves and supplies nutrients to its roots. There is only a small amount of air roots in its roots for attachment and fixation.
Ponding pineapple is also a climbing plant. In the origin, it is generally attached to tall rocks and trees. In order to adapt to the difficulty of root water absorption during epiphyty, the smooth leaves are arranged in a spiral shape to form a water diversion channel, and the water droplets falling on the leaves are gathered in the center of the plant for storage.
The accumulated water makes ponding pineapple very suitable for frogs to inhabit and lay eggs, so arranging ponding pineapple in the exhibition box of arrow poison frog is a good choice.
Moreover, the plants in the exhibition box will continue to grow. Some plants will not grow properly soon. Maybe the plants in the exhibition box will become too lush after a period of time.
In this way, the environment arranged at the beginning is relatively beautiful. Various plants are scattered and have a sense of hierarchy. After flourishing, they are mixed into a group, and the beauty is reduced. In addition, the shielding effect of too dense plants is too strong, which also makes tourists unable to normally watch the animals living inside.
In addition, some animals are more active! Often climb around and drill around in the exhibition box, so some plants may be pressed down. For these animals, we should consider choosing landscape plants such as Millennium trees with better lodging resistance.
Normally, with a reasonably arranged exhibition box, plants can grow reasonably within a certain range. In the process of gradual growth, the environment of the exhibition box will become more natural and beautiful, and animals will not cause damage to plants. As long as they are fed and cleaned regularly.
What fangye is designing at this time is the exhibition box of green tree python!
Consider size first.
The exhibition boxes in the crawling hall are basically one meter from the ground, because the exhibition box is small. If it is so close to the ground, it will be stupid for tourists to watch. If animals climb on the ground, they have to squat down.
This height is basically 20cm away. You can see it clearly with normal head up or slightly bent over.
The space below the exhibition box is not simply raised. The signs introduced by popular science will be placed outside, and some ventilation and drainage equipment will be installed inside. The ventilation cycle will be carried out regularly to prevent mold from breeding in the corners of the exhibition box.
The exhibition box will also be equipped with spraying and lighting temperature control system. The ideal environment for green tree python is 75% - 85% humidity, which can tolerate 26-33 degrees and 27-31 degrees.
Therefore, according to the natural environment, the temperature will be adjusted to 31-32 degrees during the day and 27-28 degrees at night. Through temperature control, a step temperature difference will be created at different times of the day, which is also beneficial to the health of snakes.
As for the light on time, it''s just the same as the business hours of the park. The light has no impact on the green tree python, but it affects the growth of plants in the exhibition box. Tourists also need light to watch better.
The exhibition box is divided into different specifications according to the size and living habits of animals. The width is 50cm, and the height is 50cm, 70cm and 1m.
Green tree python usually lives in trees. Of course, it uses a one meter high exhibition box, which is also one meter long.
Although the green tree python usually likes to wrap around the trunk when it is full, the space can be smaller and the length of 50cm is enough, but in that case, the placement of the perch is more limited.
In a larger space, the perch can be placed obliquely, the whole arch bridge or something. This environment has a more sense of modeling, and the rocks on the edge can also enrich and increase the sense of hierarchy.
The caisson is the skeleton of the exhibition box, so the caisson should be selected next, and then the next layout can be carried out according to the appearance of the caisson.
Although it is impossible to design the exhibition box of the crawling Pavilion directly through the system, it is still no problem to provide some materials for plants and landscaping!
Fang Ye constantly throws one sunken wood at the construction interface. The appearance of each sunken wood is randomly generated. Observe and find out which shape is more in line with your heart. Finally, you can buy it with green leaf coins.
Finally, I saw one that looked good. The trunk was about the thickness of an adult''s arm. The cracks were natural, and there were small bends in the middle. The most important thing was that there were several crooked auxiliary stems.
This sunken wood can be cut off and placed obliquely. The left is placed at the bottom and the right is leaning against the uneven wall at the rear edge of the exhibition box. One side is low and the other side is high. The unnecessary auxiliary trunk in the middle is removed. Several three finger thick and thin auxiliary trunk are used as the usual rest place of green tree python.
When the sunken wood is placed obliquely, the auxiliary trunk becomes horizontal and extends slightly obliquely downward. In this way, the habitat of the green tree python will be located at the golden section of the exhibition box, which has a better viewing effect. After spraying, you may also see the crystal beads on the emerald green green tree python.
Green tree python usually inhabits in high places and won''t come down to drink water. Most of the time, it licks the water droplets on its body to supplement water. In the wild, it depends on natural dew. In the exhibition box, it can only rely on spraying.
Several cut-off curved auxiliary stems can also be fixed at the edge, staggered left and right, up and down, making it more like a dense forest.
Because green tree python mostly lives in tropical rain forests and shrubs, the plants at the bottom of the tank adopt reticulated grass with oval leaves, large gray moss, and some ferns. Some moss is arranged on rocks and sunken trees. During the previous consultation, a boss told him that green tree python prefers the touch of pure wood, so the auxiliary trunk left for green tree python to inhabit is not arranged with moss.
Because the green tree python is not an active type, some air pineapples can be placed at the edge where it doesn''t often go, and the plants on the background plate adopt vine like Ficus pumila. Ficus pumila is also a very common landscaping plant. Its leaves are small, not easy to block the line of sight, and its climbing ability is strong.
The rich green vegetation is the rainforest environment at first sight, which jointly creates the moist feeling of the tropical rainforest. Some drooping whiskers can be set at the top, which is reminiscent of drooping vines or lush roots of big trees, and more reflects the rainforest atmosphere.
"Well, reptiles are really troublesome ~"
Fang Ye stretches. There are many exhibition boxes that need to be designed. We''ll discuss them with the civilian staff at the morning meeting tomorrow.
