I think Mark Sabaj has a biotope picture from where L200 comes from, and as I understand it L128 territory is similar.

Mine prefer stone from wood/bamboo (and they are given a choice).

This article will help, and has some photos of the area. Also, a quick Google Images search will turn up 100s more.

You should thank Mark Sabaj - I'm only the messenger boy delivering the photos. Mark took them, and allowed us to use them.
