Perhaps, but you're also a moron. And yeah, I'll say that to your face with my finger on your chest. You don't know me son.
Autocorrected to marginatus? That's quite a linguistically savvy autocorrect you have there. It even speaks Latin...
It's absolute truth in advertising in every sense. If he had simply stated Texas tortoise, some moron, perhaps even yourself, would have come along and argued that it couldn't possibly be a Texas tortoise if it's from Mexico. This is the fundamental reason why scientific names exist. They are intended to eliminate the ambiguity that is inherent to common names. Sorry if some of those words are too big for you, but don't worry, Google can be your friend.
