Prez Obama, a friend to newts

[Molch]

So I've had this Prez O Chia Pet which I bought one time when I was thinking I-don't-know-what.

I finally found a good use for it. I broke a hole into the base so the newts can crawl in and planted him a nice java moss afro. It makes for a fine newtian hide-out and lounging island.

I like it so much I think I'm gonna get a Prez Lincoln for my strauchii tank...

an apuanus juvie on top of Mount Obama. Like with the Hawaiian Islands, Mt. Obama is only the very tip of a much larger mountain which rises from the ocean floor

The above, I should mention, is Prez O's "determined" pose.
They also make a "happy" pose, which makes him look like he dug up some shrooms in the white house garden.....

...and I just discovered they make a Prez Washington one as well....now I want the set !!

Historically speaking Democrats do seem to be more conservation oriented than Republicans. I guess the question I would ask is what does your neighbor Sarah P. think of your tank?

psst, don't tell her...if they made a Sarah Palin chia pet I wouldn't want to put it in my tank; can't have my newts regurgitating their worms...

haha this is hilarious and the moss is growing well. I couldn't get the java moss I bought online to grow at all it just turned brown and eventually I just removed it all because of aggravation. How long did that take to grow in like that? And I think the abraham lincoln one would look great :]

 

[Molch]

actually, I just planted it a few days ago - the moss is attached by thin thread but hopefully will take hold in time.

I ordered the Lincoln and Washington. Will post pics of them when I have them set up.
My newts are gonna have their very own Mt Rushmore.

That's the best use for Pres. Obama I've seen since the man took office... Can't wait to see the others.

NICE! I'm not against drowning presidents! Molch get a Sarah Palin Chia Pet!

 

[Molch]

alas, no Sarah chia pet. Otherwise, I could test my regurgitation theory.

There is, however, a Hillary Clinton Chia pet....there are also, although these are somewhat less applicable as aquarium ornaments, a Hillary Clinton nutcracker and a Bill Clinton corkscrew. Yes, well. You may google those at your own risk...

That's pretty great XD It never donned on me to put a Chia pet inside of a tank.
