A.genic habitat?

[Exo]

I was just wondering what kind of habitat A.geniculata comes from. Is it a rainforest species, or a pampas species? :?

Come on, throw me a bone here! :wall:

They come from Brazil

I think they come from Brazil , but not from the amazon jungle . I've been told they come from the drier scrub lands . I think they like 80-84 on the temp and around 75 % on the humidity . However , this is second hand info and I can't be sure how accurate it is . The one that a saw in these conditions was doing pretty good , though .

in the re-description by Ausserer in 1871 he lists Rio Branco, Brazil as type location.

a simple google search gave me this result for the climate:

I looked up Rio Branco and it appears to be a rainforest habitat, thanks for the info.

I keep mine about the same as a rosie (dry with water dish) and she does just fine. She's always out sitting on top of her hide hoping I toss in 40-50 crix (I think she'd actually eat that many if given the opportunity, lol).

I just fed my female 15 adult male B. lats.

Just think about that for a sec.

That's a little snack.

I know mine would scarf down a little weasel like Bautista. ;P

 

[Warren Bautista]

I agree, but that was in the container she was shipped in.

It would be cool if someone could post up a pic of it's natural habitat. For example, snap a pic of the area a WC specimen was captured. Even a zoomed out photo of the entrance to it's burrow would be interesting to see, or just a general photo of the area. I have an A. Genic. and I'm curious to see the area they live in. I'm sure most would like to see the morphology of the area their T's originate from.

You're a poop.

Mine would KEEL you.

Then again, Even a G. rosea would do some serious damage to someone 3 feet tall.

Yeah, from what I hear, they would eat thier owner if given the chance.


Didn't know they did well when kept dry....interesting.

There's really not a good way to tell if a T is doing well or not. Their behavior doesn't vary a whole lot. I *think* my A genic prefers a little moisture in the substrate because i *think* she climbs the walls less when its moist. But that's just a guess and often she will climb the walls for no apparent reason. There's a very wide range of conditions under which she would grow and live and it would be hard to tell if she's doing particularly well. That's true of most T's.

A genic isn't a T that dies easily. Consequently we can't say much about the conditions it particularly prefers.
