The smaller one is an Elongated Tortoise (Indotestudo elongata). The long narrow nuchal scute is characteristic of the species. Forsten's Tortoise (Indotestudo forstenii) has a much more square nuchal scute.

Not sure about the larger one. It looks like a member of the Greek Tortoise family, but I couldn't say which species/subspecies it might be.

The one in the big picture kinda looks like a box turtle. We need to see more of it
