# Lasiocyano sazimai (*Brazilian blue tarantula*) # Location & Photo info The majority of the observations from iNaturalist depict individuals in burrows or mature male individuals walking on hard, dry terrain, or on/near human structures. Much of the foliage is dry (potentially due to time of year for these observations) ***Range***: - iNaturalist & the most recent taxon revision indicate the same range: Brazil - State of Bahia & State of Minas Gerais > [!tip] iNaturalist photos [here](https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1474338-Lasiocyano-sazimai/browse_photos) # Weather (Lassance, Minas Gerais) | ![[Jan_Sazimai.png]] | ![[Feb_Sazimai.png]] | | :------------------: | :------------------: | | ![[Mar_Sazimai.png]] | ![[Apr_Sazimai.png]] | | ![[May_Sazimai.png]] | ![[Jun_Sazimai.png]] | | ![[Jul_Sazimai.png]] | ![[Aug_Sazimai.png]] | | ![[Sep_Sazimai.png]] | ![[Oct_Sazimai.png]] | | ![[Nov_Sazimai.png]] | ![[Dec_Sazimai.png]] | > [!tip] Weather link [here](https://www.accuweather.com/en/br/lassance/39448/january-weather/39448?year=2024) October-March have the highest rainfall with around 6-8" per month (coupled with being the hottest months of the year). They rarely experience a "high" temperature below 80 degrees and often experience temps in the 90s during the day. > [!note] Note that this species does experience a decent swing (up to 40 degrees) between day and night temperatures, and likely manage that with deep burrows **Lassance** has a tropical savanna climate, characterized by distinct wet and dry seasons. - The predominant soil type in this region is typically Latosol. They are often reddish or yellowish in color due to the presence of iron and aluminum oxides. > [!note] Note: In captivity, we might replicate this utilzing a higher clay/sand mixture in lieu of unavailable matching soil types
