These are some of my aquatic pets feeding on worms. I have two Tiger Salamanders, a Painted Turtle, a Softshell turtle and a Mud turtle living together. They all like to eat worms and floating reptile pellets.

I wrote this article over the weekend after another common snapping turtle showed up in my pond. The Alligator Snapping turtle is my favorite turtle. They are so unique and get larger than any other freshwater turtle in North America. Any criticism would be welcome on how I can improve it.

The life of a councillor is dangerous and fraught with peril. This seems even truer in Cornwall where dangerous beasts roam the countryside and people even keep them as pets. On a recent inspection tour, a councillor was so frightened by attacking creatures she didn't even dare to enter the premises.
