Confirming make, model and sex!

Hi, I have a tortoise which I will soon be advertising for sale. I wish to confirm that he is a male hermann of about 7 years old. Which bits of Patrick should I photograph (if he will stay still long enough!) so that his sex and species can be identified. Many thanks.

The underside. Well both sides really. Not blurred pics if possible

Thanks for replying. I have created an album called Patrick and there are four photos of him in there.

It looks like a male Horsfield to me but I don't really know much so you will have to wait until someone who knows. Do you have a A10 certificate? If it's a Hermann you should have one but not if it's a Horsfield

Yep, its a male Horsfield.
