Hey Skater~
Sorry to hear that you lost him. Unfortunately, it does happen sometimes. And you asked for help, so I belive that you did care for him.
On your next turtle, before you order talk to the dealer for a little while to feel them and the health of their stock out. The people here have opinions as to who the proven and reputable sellers are. Sometime's things can happen with them, but they almost always make things right if something does go wrong.
When you're at the dealer, or on the phone with them anyway~ ask for one that's just a little bigger than you had, use the word "fat," if you think there is any question about the health of thier turtles, and get one about 3".
I know it sounds a little big, but it'll help prove he/she's a little more established, and can handle the shipping if any, or at least the stress of adjusting to a new set-up, and the process of really dialing it in for your animal.
One more thing~ If you just acquired the little guy recently, "most," reputable sellers will offer a quality guarantee on their turts. You might want to go see, or call them and let them know your turt didn't make it, and ask if they'll replace it. Just be nice about it, and explain what happened. They'll usually replace it for you. The sellers people deal with here do... Randleas, P&J Turtle Farm, Turtleman aka John Richards, and our very own "turtlesox," here on the forum (hope that's OK M  ), are good and more commonly known.
Good Luck!~
CJ
P.S. Right on on the skating... so much fun!
