Planet Zoo 2 Eastern Brown Snake — habitat, biome, size & which animals it can live with

Eastern Brown Snake is one of the 130 Planet Zoo 2 launch species. It is housed in a Exhibit habitat, accepts the Desert / Savannah / Temperate biome, carries a no barrier requirement and is listed at 1.75 m (length). It shares a biome and an enclosure type with 16 other species, but the official species data rules out every one of those pairings, so it needs a habitat of its own.

Enclosure and barrier requirements

Eastern Brown Snake needs a Exhibit enclosure and accepts the Desert / Savannah / Temperate biomes. The barrier requirement is none at all, and that is the number to check before building: a Grade 4 animal behind a Grade 1 wall is the most common way a first zoo stalls.

Which animals can live with the Eastern Brown Snake?

Eastern Brown Snake shares a biome and an enclosure type with 16 other species, but every one of those pairings is ruled out by the official data, because one side of each pair is officially solitary.

Same biome, but not compatible

16 of the species that accept the Desert / Savannah / Temperate biome cannot share an enclosure with the Eastern Brown Snake, because one side of the pair is officially solitary. These are the pairings people ask about most, so they are spelled out rather than left as an unexplained gap.

Close, but ruled out by enclosure type

45 species share at least one biome with the Eastern Brown Snake but use a different enclosure type — a land habitat against an aquarium or a flying aviary — so they cannot be mixed however well the biomes line up.

Behaviour, size and weight

Eastern Brown Snake is classed as Solitary in Frontier's Social & Reproduction notes: “Adult male Eastern brown snakes are solitary, whereas females may interact with each other after laying their eggs; they will often do this in the same burrow as one another, guarding them together.” On size the game lists 1.75 m (length) for the male and 1.75 m for the female. Size and weight together decide the minimum habitat footprint, so use the female figure when you are sizing a breeding pair rather than a display animal.
