Perfect for use in aquariums and terrariums, the pod provides small fish, shrimp, or reptiles with a cozy hiding spot and even has a light medicinal effect that benefits aquatic health.
You can also use it creatively as a natural snack bowl for reptiles or amphibians. Whether you're designing a blackwater tank or a bioactive terrarium, the Thelambu Pod brings visual charm and functional value.

Rinse before use. In aquariums, the pod may float initially—soak or boil it to help it sink. In terrariums, simply place it in a shaded or moist area. Combine with Talawa wood, Xaxim panels, or Cholla wood for a complete natural environment.
Fun fact: The Thelambu Pod comes from the Sterculia foetida tree, also called the wild almond, Java olive, or skunk tree—named after its strong natural odor (not present in the dried pods!).
