ID help needed please, possibly mammillaria

Post by ange »

Hello All,
Please could you help me ID these two cacti?
I searched online and thought the first one looked like mammillaria surculosa, but I think the bodies are too big as the largest is about 5cm in diameter. The longer spines are quite fine and some are hooked and attach very easily to the fingers!
