That spelling is really bad.
The diet given is bad.
And leopards are not rare:0)

The diet is not good but the pyramiding is very minor, certainly compared to most leopards. Rarity will depend on the subspecies, if it is a SPB it will not be rare, but a pure SPP will be rare.

With the info, diet and spelling, I am guessing they wouldn't know one from the other:0)
And I wouldn't call that normal growth either:0(

Hyphenates?!! What a total clown! Really hope someone who finds this advert 'funny' doesn't take the poor tort on without any knowledge of how to care for it. The tortoise deserves a good home.
