Nice-looking turtle--what's the shell length not including the curve?. A hatchling should be kept separate from a turtle much larger in size until it's more the size of the larger turtle (you need two set-ups). If you got a turtle about the same size as your RES, you ideally should quarantine it for at least 90 days to make sure it doesn't have anything your turtle could catch. A vet visit for a check-up would be nice, too.
