Is A. geniculata considered a burrowing sp.?

[Sabeth]

I just read a resource online that says they are a burrowing species, and my sling has dug himself a burrow, but are they burrowers to the same extent as H. lividum, for example? Another source says they do not hide. Your input? Thank you.

I have 3 A.genics(and have had a few others in the past) none of which burrowed, not even as slings.. I currently have a 2", 1.5" and a 1/2" and none are in hiding.. But every T is different.

A Genics will burrow when young. But the bigger they get the braver they get. most of my larger ones don't burrow at all , but I do have a 6"er that I haven't seen in months.

yeah they're serious growers. Glad yours is going strong!

If they're fed almost as much as they'll eat, about how much will they grow in, say, a year?

Too many Variables to give you an accurate answer but.. My.25" ers kept at 80* with 60% humidity hit about 3.5-4" in a year.
