The Arethusa Fountain Waterer draws inspiration from the ancient myth of Arethusa, a nymph who was transformed into a fountain by the goddess Artemis to save her from the river god Alpheus. The dish features a sculpted figure of Arethusa reclining on her side, with an amphora (vase) in her hand, from which water flows into the dish. This design represents the endless flow of life-giving water, just as in the ancient myth.
Adding this waterer to your terrarium is like bringing a piece of Greek history and legend into your reptile’s habitat.

The wide base ensures stability inside the terrarium, preventing tipping or spilling. The design is not only ornamental but also highly functional, providing a steady supply of hydration for your reptile while enhancing the aesthetic of your terrarium.
