Identification help

[rkelleh]

I currently own Leopards so am not sure on species here. I was thumbing through local online ads and a couple have to rehome their torts due to moving overseas. I think the two smaller ones are sulcatas but unsure. Not sure what other one is. Needing expertise before I think about adopting them. The owners are unsure of what they are. Thanks in advance for your expertise.

The first pic, closest tort look so Ike a sucata. The one further back could be too, but hard to tell. The the second pics, don't know. @tortadise would be able to tell you without a doubt most likely

Thank you. They said they found one in the road and the other 2 were given to them. I don't have space for the sulcatas unfortunately. My husband has told me that I cannot save them all. Hopefully I can at least help with identification to the owners and anyone who is looking at adopting know what they are getting. Thank you for your help.

The first two look more gopherus sp. to me than sulcata. The second is a Russian.

First 2 have nuchal scutes so they are not sulcatas, they are desert tortoises. The second one is a Russian.

Wow, those pics got big LOL. Still hard for me to tell and that Russian, wow, love the color. Either way, the three can not be house together and the water bowl is a bad idea, very dangerous. Get them a clay saucer, the kind that goes under flower pots. and large enough for them to get in it.

Love the carapace on that Russian.

The Russian is indeed beautiful.
The other two are nice, too.
