Talking New to tortoises

Hi guys, I'm from Jakarta Indonesia. I hope everybody know where Indonesia is. I'm a new tortoise lover. I want to keep my tortoises happy and healthy. Currently I have 6 tortoises, 3 Star Tortoise ( Geochleone elegans), 3 other are Indonesian species. I don't know the species of the other 3. Maybe someone from thsi forum can help me identify the species.

I'm also willing to learn anything that can make my tortoises happy and healthy.

I will post the picture of my Indonesian species tortoise so maybe someone can help me identify their species.

Thanks
Jakartaguy

First 2 pics. look like turtles, dont know if they are tortoises or not,. The next 2 look like Mt. Tortoises, a brown or black Burmese Mt. Tortoise that would be my guess.

Thanks for the reply guys. Yes, the first 2 are Spiny Turtle (Heosemys spinosa). The last 2, I also don't know myself. According to the person I bought from, the tortoise came from Borneo island, Indonesia. They are pretty cute. They are very active move around and eat a lot!!.

I still hope someone can help me identify my last 2 tortoises.

Thanks & Regards,
Jakartaguy

Thanks Tom. Finally I can identify my 2 Burmese Mountain tortoises.
They really like to eat Ipomoea aquatica ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipomoea_aquatica ). My other 3 Indian Star and 1 Spiny Turtle also like to eat this vegetable. Do you any comment about this vegetable? Is it useful for my tortoises?
Oh yeah, I always sprinkle calcium powder on top of the vegetable for them to eat.

Thanks
