The second one looks like a Mammillaria elongata to me, the first another Mammillaria. But which one?

,and second one a nice elongata with brown spines
Both are easy plants ,any special care required

Thank you so much. At least I have ID's for these new guys, even if I have lost most of my others! Am working on those and hope not to have to ask here too much, many of them were id'd by you all anyway. Asking twice would normally be a 'No!No' for me.
Have written these down ( not sure how much I trust my computer now
LOL

Perry,
Do a search for all your posts. This should reidentify part of your lost IDs.
