The Geochelone sulcata & African spurred are the same thing.
The different Spur-thighed tortoise is the Testudo ibera also called Greek or Mediterranean tortoise.
That's the problem with "common" names they tend to confuse people so it's the reason so many people refer to the giant African as simply sulcata.

Thank you , I asked the question for the ads that appear here, some like:
"Baby African Spurred Tortoises" or "baby Sulcata Tortosies","Hatchling African Spurred Tortoises " or "hatchling sulcatas","SULCATAS Well-started","African Spurred Tortoise Sulcata" like you can see, all these stuff make the confusion for begginers like me, Thank you again
