The specific name, brauni, is in honor of German zoologist Rudolf H. Braun (born 1908).^[3]

T. brauni is found in the Southern Highlands in Tanzania and in the Nyika Plateau in Malawi.^[1]^[2]

The preferred natural habitats of T. brauni are grassland and savanna, at altitudes of 2,100–2,800 m (6,900–9,200 ft).^[1]

T. brauni is viviparous.^[4]
