Yes it is a Hermanns tortoise, Testudo hermanni. We'd need to see a plastron (bottom shell) to tell subspecies and sex.
If you do get it, make sure the Article 10 is in the seller's name. If the Article 10 isn't in the seller's name, than the sale would be illegal. Danny

With that kind of tail and scutes, sure does look very male to me. How big/old is it?
