I can quite figure out what these tortoises are. What do you think?

Russians?

Sulcatas.

Tom would know! They look so dark.

 

[franeich]

I vote Sulcatas

Well, I was going to say Texas tortoises, but then I looked again and saw the large spurs on the front legs. Sulcata. Probably that color because they've lived their whole life indoors in that aquarium.

Definitely sulcatas

Looks like indoor sulcatas.

I actually like the dark look, too bad it won't stay always like that. Are you thinking about getting them and then rehoming? I do remember don't I, that you don't have room for sulcata?

 

[kimber_lee_314]

I thought sulcata too - but they are so dark!

 

[Laura]

Mine is very dark and he sees sunlight everyday ( fake and or real ) and is very very slightly pyramided. Looks like a 20 gallon tank for 2 sullies though. .... pyramided some too.
