Sapucaia Pod XL – Impressive Natural Shelter & Display Pod

A striking natural pod for aquariums, terrariums & small animals.

The Sapucaia Pod XL is a large, bowl-shaped seed pod from South America, often referred to as the “monkey pot.” Its sturdy structure and deep, natural cavity make it a perfect shelter for shrimp, small reptiles, amphibians, and rodents. It also serves beautifully as a feeding dish or decorative element in naturalistic enclosures.

In aquariums, the pod slowly releases beneficial tannins that support water quality by reducing harmful bacteria. In terrariums or rodent habitats, it creates a natural retreat and enriches the environment with its jungle-like feel.
