Exo Terra Tiki Coconut Hide & Water Dish

A new and unique look for vivariums and terrariums.

This combined water dish and hide is a great way to provide a special area for your reptile.

The 2-in-1 Hide-out & Water Dish adds a great tropical touch to your terrarium, as well as providing a secure hiding place, which in turn will help to prevent stress.

This is ideal for ground dwelling species, such as geckos, and is perfect for creating a humid microclimate for hiding, shedding and egg laying, with its smooth non-porous surface that will not adsorb any harmful bacteria. For peace of mind, this is made from food-grade resin.

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.

The Tiki culture received an extra boost when, in 1947, Thor Heyerdahl organized the Kon-Tiki expedition: a journey across the Pacific Ocean from South America to the Polynesian islands. Heyerdahl believed that people from South America could have settled Polynesia in pre-Columbian times.

To prove it, he constructed a raft out of native materials, based on the design found in old illustrations.

The excitement surrounding his expedition eventually led to an explosion of the Tiki Culture. Similar, more recent journeys like the Tangaroa, An-Tiki and Kon-Tiki clearly show a renewed interest in the Tiki-culture and mythology.

Tiki-themed events and conventions have begun to spring up.
