Exo Terra Tiki Ornament Large

Product Description

New Tiki Ornaments ensure that your terrarium is looking fresh and unique, with this fantastic look. These ornaments feature a 3-in-1 hide-out, as well as providing a water & feeding dish that is ideal for geckos. As well as G-0C, there is also a secure hiding place, ensuring they feel safer, and therefore come out for viewing more, which also helps to prevent stress.

An ornament like this means there is a better usage of the 3D space within the enclosure, giving geckos something to climb and explore. It is perfect for tree dwelling reptiles and amphibians, and comes in a choice of two sizes to suit your own set up.

Origins of the Tiki culture
A young man from New Orleans, Ernest Raymond Beaumont-Gantt, had sailed throughout the Pacific and used the many cultural and culinary impressions from his trip to create the first actual Tiki-restaurant in 1933. It featured Cantonese cuisine and exotic rum punches, with a decor of flaming torches, rattan furniture, flower leis, and brightly colored fabrics. The distinctive Maori carvings, performing arts and mythology inspired the first Tiki design. After WWII, soldiers returned from their missions in the Pacific Ocean, bringing home many souvenirs and stories. It led to an increased interest and further promotion of the Tiki culture.
