The only entity that I am aware of that has any long-term success with A. granulatus is Dr. Harvey Lilywhite at the University of Fla, Gainesville.

I have had 5 and they have all died within 30 days. However, they arrive severely sick and stressed.

Dr. Lilywhite worked with them for about 10 yrs and managed a 4 yrs record. However, all of his animals were shipped from indo directly to him. He states that under identical conditions, some animals thrived and others died.

Right now, unless you have extreme Acro knowledge and experience--I'd suggest you just stay away. The majority of the info available on the net is incorrect.
