You have a 7 inch turtle in a pond at least 20 gallons too small.
You have a sick turtle with what someone advised you could be a communicable RI that killed your other turtle
.... and you got another turtle?
It's a cute turtle... that just seems like a bad idea.

You posted a thread a few days ago saying that your surviving turtle (Dammit) was swimming funny and may have an RI, that's the one I'm talking about, not the one you had to put down. Why would you expose this new turtle to that?

Seems like after this whole scenario
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=30691&hilit=Butter you would be hesitant to get yet another turtle. What ever happened to Jelly anyway...

You mean jelly went into the 2000 gallon pond? Why did you decide to get rid of Jelly?

I've never heard of a rescue that orders brand new baby animals. They tend to be animals that are rescued....

Well where ever you ordered him from, ask for your money back. You got res/ybs intergrade not even a true ybs you ordered.
