I'd like to know what species are those "herptiles". All pictures were taken in southern Texas last May.

Thanks!

The first one is a Southern Leopard Frog, Rana sphenocephala. Second is River Cooter, Chrysemys concinna.

Not sure about the third one but my best guess is Texas tortoise (Gopherus berlandieri) which is on the Federal Endangered Species list.
