Do you ever have trouble making up your mind?  Well just think yourself lucky and spare a thought or two for Peter Godfrey's unusual pet terrapin.  The expression living under the same roof.  Takes on a new dimension when you take a close look at the inch long amphibian, because although it has only one body, four legs and a single tail, it boasts twin brain power and has two minds of its own to make up each time it wants to do anything.  Pet shop owner Peter explains:  "Each head eats separately and sleeps separately.  When they're both awake it gets a bit difficult.

One wants to go left: one wants to go right.  And they end up going round in circles."

However, animal lovers may rest assured. A London Zoo expert said that he had heard of a similar terrapin in America, and it had lived happily for many years.
