The black bands are almost always continuous on the plastron of the hermanni hermanni and quite different to this tortoise which does have a lot of dark there but not at all continuous. I do not think this is a hermanni hermanni. The carapace does have quite a lot of black for a boetgerri but the colours and patterns of this tortoise are not typical of hermanni hermanni.

Here is one of my smaller ones
