Exo Terra’s Aztec Terrarium is the cornerstone of a mystical ancient pre-Columbian terrarium set-up.

The Aztec terrarium’s unique Aztec background is inspired by the astonishing art and impressive relics that were left behind by pre-Columbian cultures. The Aztec Terrarium is ideal for arboreal reptile and amphibian species.

Its unique Aztec background provides more 3-D space for tree dwelling species like tree boas & pythons, day geckos, leaf-tailed geckos, tokay geckos, anoles, tree frogs, etc.

In roughly 200 years, the Aztec empire grew from a nomadic tribe to the ruling empire in the valley of Mexico and beyond. The legend goes that the place where they built their capital was indicated by a sign of the gods: an eagle perched on top of a cactus, holding a snake.

Aztec culture was strongly connected to nature, attributing supernatural powers to several animals. The snake played an important role, representing fertility and abundance. Frogs, toads and amphibians in general symbolised earth and rain and were associated with water, fertility and agriculture. While Eagles were considered supreme aerial predators: fearless, brave and daring. Religion was another important aspect of the Aztec culture and was characterised by a whole range of gods. To honour these gods, they raised impressive statues, created beautiful relics and built magnificent temples.

Exo Terra’s Aztec Range creates a mystical ancient Mesoamerican atmosphere in your terrarium. The Aztec terrarium and decoration is inspired by the astonishing art and impressive relics that were left behind by pre-Columbian cultures. Revive and admire the magnificence of this lost civilisation by decorating your terrarium with one or more of the functional Exo Terra Aztec decoration items!

The new range Aztec Exo Terra Terrariums and Ornaments will be available from July.
