i need some help identifying the spieces

these little guys are for sale in a local, not so good, petshop

they are described by one assistant as a "horse shoe" tortoise, but im assuming they mean horsefields which they definately arent as far as i know tho they were in a tank with one

the second person working there seems to think they are red footed tortoises but ive seen red footed before and i dont think they are

can anyone give me some hlep here? thier shell is very high and they are different to any ive seen before, sorry about the photo quality, i had to use my camera phone

He reminds me of what we used to call a "box turtle" when I lived down in Florida (I was a kid at the time). They lived in the back yard and dug burrows. I don't know much about torts or turtles, though :) Sorry I couldn't be more help!

That's what I was thinkin too
Cute little guy though

looks like one of my friends Korean jungle tort but i doubt you would find one of them in a local petshop prolly a russian

looks like a young sulcata.

to me it doesnt really look like a sulcata i dont know why

the one in the forefront looks like a leopard tort hatchling, the other looks like a russian tort. I have both species and sure looks like mine.

Not quite a hatchling , maybe 1 yr.
