Exo Terra Aztec Frog Water Bowl

Measurements: 11.5 x 10 x 6 cm
Contents: 40 ml

The Exo Terra Aztec Frog Water Bowl fits the Mesoamerican Aztec theme. Frogs, toads and amphibians generally symbolised earth and rain and were associated with Tlaloc, the god of water, fertility and agriculture. Clean and fresh water is essential for the proper care of your terrarium animals. The shape of the Exo Terra Aztec Frog Water Bowl prevents the bowl from being knocked over and spilling water.
We think the decorative water bowl fits very well in a tropical terrarium with lots of plants. It gives the viewer a South American rainforest “look” and thus fits wonderfully into this theme.

Tlaltecuhtli is described as both a female and a male. It possessed attributes of both a toad and an alligator. Representations of the deity were found primarily in the Postclassic period of Central American history. Tlaltecuhtli is also known from post-Columbian manuscripts. Sometimes the deity is associated with Cihuacoatl, Tonantzin and Tonatiuh. In the Tonalamatl of the Codex Borbonicus, Tlaltecuhtli is attributed the second hour of the day. There are also important parallels to the Mayan creation mythology as described in the Relación de las cosas de Yucatán by Diego de Landas.
