That's for sure a scammer. They're using Stolen pictures, terrible english, and the story as to why they're getting rid of the tortoise changes with every other post.

Thank you for your help I'm a little bit of a naive person and trusting but I know there's scammers out there. How can you tell their stolen pictures?

I've seen some of those pictures posted all over the internet. You can do a reverse image search and you'll see. There's not too many people selling baby aldabras. Usually when you see them advertised on facebook, craigslist, etc its a scam.

I don't honestly, but you might try contacting @ALDABRAMAN He might be able to point you in the right direction.
