Trumpet Pod

Trumpet pods, also known as Jeauitiba, savu, or cariniana pods are a great building block for frog enthusiasts looking to get creative. Trumpet pods come from Brazilian cariniana trees, which are often over 3000 years old! We love these in our thumbnail dart frog vivaria (and so do the frogs!) In the aquarium, they release a fair amount of tannins for a week or so. Their antibacterial properties are stronger than those of Catappa (Indian Almond) leaves, so they help inhibit certain harmful bacteria while looking stunning in South-American themed aquaria and vivaria. Trumpet pods will add a tropical aesthetic to any vivarium or paludarium layout. These hard and durable tree pods are also perfect for your Microvarium and its microfauna that love the long and narrow pod as a nice dark cave they can hide in and snack on at the same time. Ranitomeya dart frogs use these pods as egg deposit sites or hides. This hard and durable pod is a must-have for any terrarium enthusiast and they will help your animals thrive. Whether you’re looking to create a new microhabitat or just need some unique additions for your dart frogs, trumpet pods fit the bill.
