Etymology
The specific name, arnoldi, is in honor of British herpetologist E. Nicholas "Nick" Arnold.[1]
Habitat
The preferred habitat of M. arnoldi is sparsely-vegetated rocky plateaus at elevations of 1,300–2,800 m (4,300–9,200 ft).[1]
gollark: The MPU6050 has an accelerometer + gyroscope for that, and I think it has *some* way to give you absolute orientation data through something.
gollark: And there's no way to get it to get absolute orientation using the magnetometer data too?
gollark: How would you not be able to get that if you used the magnetometer + MPU6050?
gollark: It should probably be fine.
gollark: Oh, I used one of those for a thing, the drift was fine and the magnetometer probably lets you compensate for it.
