Need help with tortoise ID please

[Jose Nunez]

Can some one please help me ID these two. I can't for sure distinguish them between a CDT or a sulcata thanks in advance.

That's a little sulcata, Jose. Or if it's two tortoises, they're both sulcatas - not desert tortoises.

OMG thank you i had a feeling they were sulcata some lady gave them to me thinking it was a CDT and also gave me the paper work to get them licensed. Scary thing is that she's had the parents for years and is waiting for about 20 more eggs to hatch anytime soon now.

Yipes! She has the parents and is passing out desert tortoise applications with all her babies? Well, the care is almost the same for both species with the exception the sulcata doesn't hibernate. I wonder how she treats them in the winter. (and desert tortoises lay 4 - 6 eggs per clutch, not 20. That should have been her first clue)

Yeah I don't know now if I should tell her what she has or if I should wait till they hatch and grab a few more for people that want one lol. She just keeps them out side and they are usually in their burrows. I didn't get to see the parents because they were in their at the time
