1 of my freshly molted A. Gens. Looking good at 2.5"-3" leg span. I also rehoused it. FYI : the different color substrate is because I added some of the coco fiber from her old enclosure. Just a thing I do when I rehouse. This is one of my favorite species!

How can you not love a Geniculata. I usually move some piece of their old enclosure to their new as well! This gives them a familiar comfort zone. Helps calm them after the rehouse!

Right how could you not love them! They are beautiful!

I agree that adding something from their old enclosure definitely does help! As you can see she was right on top of her old substrate. She went right to what was familiar to her.

No doubt something from their old surroundings help them settle. Not only the Genics beauty but that ohhh so famous feeding response. Truly some contenders but these guys set the bar in my opinion!!! Lol!
