If you don't already know the locality then it is a "generic" or "non locality" animal.

Precisely the point of a locality animal is that it has a known origin. In my case all my kennerlyi originate from a single locality and the founders (breeders) were collected by myself.

Assigning a locality to an animal by guessing is just not how it works, and it's not fair to those who have gone to great expense and effort to put together real locality matched pairs and are producing F1 and F2 from wild caught animals.

I wish I could give you an educated guess, but if I were to guess, it would be more of a wild guess. Sorry!

Best
