Snakes

[blazing quartz]

I've seen many people want snakes in the game, and it would be really neat to be able to hunt them, so I've compiled multiple lists of snakes for most of the maps in the game (not all of them though. the only maps that won't have them are MedVed, Parque, Yukon Valley, Te Awaroa, and Revontuli)

Hirschfelden:
European Cat Snake (Telescopus fallax) (Class 1)

Layton Lakes:
Common Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) (Class 1)
Western Rattlesnake (Crotalus viridis) (Class 1)

Vurhonga:
Puff Adder (Bitis arietans) (Class 1)
Southern African Rock Python (Python natalensis) (Class 2)

Cuatro Colinas:
Asp Viper (Vipera aspis) (Class 1)
Horseshoe Whip Snake (Hemorrhois hippocrepis) (Class 1)

Silver Ridge Peaks:
Western Rattlesnake (Crotalus viridis) (Class 1)
Great Plains Rat Snake (Pantherophis emoryi) (Class 1)
Plains Garter Snake (Thamnophis radix) (Class 1)

Rancho Del Arroyo:
Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox) (Class 1)
Tiger Rattlesnake (Crotalus tigris) (Class 1)

Mississippi Acres:
Cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus) (Class 1)
Eastern Copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix) (Class 1)

New England Mountains:
Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) (Class 1)
Eastern Copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix) (Class 1)
Common Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) (Class 1)

Hey @blazing quartz ,

Thanks for your suggestion on adding snakes to the game.

I'll make sure to pass your feedback to the rest of the team. Your input is valuable in helping us improve the gaming experience for everyone.

If you have any other ideas, feel free to share them with us!

Snakes would be a neat little addition especially with rare skins but, what do you think they would set diamonds as?? like most birds at 3? or 9 like predators? (and red deer, cape and water buffalo)

[blazing quartz]

probably 9

[lime parcel]

9

[gentle geode]

9 is excessive, the animal would flee if it detects us at 75 meters with that difficulty...
In the event that snakes are added, it would be reasonable for them to use the rabbit burrow system, otherwise they should reduce the population of the other animals to add them.
They would appear from the burrow, wander in a maximum range of 75 meters and when detecting danger they would flee to their burrow again..

[blazing quartz]

so probably level 3 for diamond?

[chrome oak]

That has existed on Rancho since the day it was released.

[gentle geode]

3 would be enough, anyway they are almost invisible until we are a few meters from them 😅

[blazing quartz]

yeah

except for the Southern African Rock Python. it's one of the biggest snakes in the world

[gentle geode]

In that case, it will already be an animal on the map xD
There are many 3d models going around the internet, I had shared this one in the Everglades reserve thread

[blazing quartz]

idk i feel like they'd make their own models

[lime badge]

Only snakes I could see happening are the pythons just for their size. Rattlesnakes are also a possibility but they might be too small for even Class 1 ammo

I don’t think I’ve ever heard that sound effect on Rancho

[lime parcel]

People use .22,.410,birdshot all the time

[chrome oak]

I grew up around rattlesnakes, so I know that sound well. Some areas of the map are more prevelant than others, but they are there.

[lime parcel]

Alright,I’ll take a walk around

[rugged zodiac]

Yea diamond at 3 sounds good, if it was 9 there would have to be More of a Trophy/weight differences between 1-9, using the burrow is a good idea too

[flat drum]

EC could get Carpet pythons (2), Inland Taipans (1) or Eastern Brown snakes (1) and Sundarpatan can get King cobras (1), Indian pythons (2) or Burmese pythons (2)

Man it’s been a while since I’ve spoken here lol
