That turtle is cute InvisibleSnake Is it yours?

Nah, it's my friends diamondback terrapin. She shared the picture on FB and I posted it here to hopefully derail the dialogue between Stefan and Richard.

I'm thinking those 2 should do a buddy cop film or at least a reality show together

Here's something interesting. Been watching the ground temperature monitors placed around the Portland area at various depths. In order for snakes to stay at a safe temperature range near 10 degrees C. They would have to get at least 294 cm deep currently. That's nearly 10 feet underground! And even at that depth, the temperature has dropped a few degrees over the course of this week.

Of course, this isn't the big picture. In the place where there blue concinnus' are from, these guys den down in small groups inside root balls of fallen trees and inside/under logs in various states of decay. On days that are cold enough, and the air dry enough, you can see the water vapor rising off these logs because they generate heat. Perhaps they don't have to go so far underground because of that heat.

Marnie wanted me to let you guys know she's been in the bed with the flu for almost a week, hence her absence. Get well soon

I've got a question guys. I'm new to fish/fish tanks. I've currently got a tiny one gallon with two feeder guppies, one regular guppy, and a small apple snail. I just got them a 10 gallon yesterday(dollar per gallon sale!!!), and I want to get this one setup the proper way. I've got this filter:

The tube part with the motor and spongey part on it is extendable. Right now, in the one gallon, I've got it as short as it can go. So my real question is can that motor be fully submerged in water? Currently, in the one gallon, it's under water but the top is exposed, like where the electric cord attaches to it, and that's the part that makes me a little nervous about being submerged.


Also I have another question about guppies. Do "feeder" guppies get as big as "fancy" guppies?

I think fancy guppies get bigger, but are slightly more delicate.
I keep a tank full of fancy guppy mongrels and feed off the least colorful.
Mine that have survived best w the least care were tequila sunrise, red tails and a plain iridescent yellow.
black bodies and blue finned guppies have been less hearty and their genes disappeared into the yellow and red pool quickly.
