X Immanis

[Joanna Pendleton]

I love these absolutely beautiful Ts and am seriously thinking on getting one, have seen a 2.5inch for £20.
Is this about normal for them? In america they seem to be silly P. metallica style prices, why are they cheaper here?

Anyway, the main point is: Can't seem to find a decent care sheet on the net, does any one have one of these lovelies/ or has had experience of them and could give me some pointers please? Really want to order it but need to make sure I have the enclosure set up just right and as much info as possible before getting!

Thank you all

Thanks Mand, having a little look now - I hadn't found this one! Can't believe how much they are in America! Well, no worries then for keeping it if it's the same as Nachos!
They are beautiful arent they?
Just ordered it!

hi Jo! I'm thinking the same as you this xenethis immanis are very pretty T's, i have managed 2 take 1 home last sunday at the BTS show, cost me 10 pounds, and it looks in good health, seem a bit more aggressive of my other T's but i want 2 some challange! I think its a male but it might 2 early 2 determine this, i got some pics for you 2 check out, i had a look on the web for caresheets and i found a few different sights, if u goggle it you soon come across 1.
I think you should get 1 if you want my opinion!!




Her or His name is SOSA! from the columbian rainforest!!!

I think my Xenethis Immanis " SOSA" got very hot yesterday and thought 2 shed with a new summery outfit! Fresh molted yesterday but still has to harden up!!! I got a few pics to share with you, more pics on the way soon!!

Sosa looking good there Paolo. Congrats on a succesful moult - and lovely to see the colours coming through more!

Hoping we'll have a moult soon!

Does your X immanis behave strangely compared to your other Ts? Mine has filled her hide with substrate, literally packed it in and has tried to destroy it! She also fills her water bowl with substrate and rearranges the moss and little bit of plant in her home daily! She's absolutely crazy! x

[Paolo Trabucco]

Yeah thats exactly what my Sosa is doing at the moment! I think i have too re-house her/him as well, seems so much bigger then before molting.
I will keep posting pics on this thread, just to see how changes and develope,as he/she grows .

Hi Joanna,

My Immanis doesn't do this, however, I don't think it's strange behaviour as my Bohemei and Pulchripes do exactly the same, they are little earth movers! I just think it's their way of getting comfortable with their surroundings. My Bohemei actually moves it's water dish every day haha.
