That about sums it up. Regarding turtles and salmonella, years ago, red-eared sliders were farmed in crowded ponds filled with turtles and turtle poop. Not to mention that they were fed polutry and meat scraps, etc. that also fouled the water. Consequently, these turtles arrived to the pet shop with salmonella on them and then in the water of their new home.
