hey mate,

1st one looks like Trichocereus Spachianus

2nd one seems to be Cereus Peruvianus

Nice specimens.

I don't know if it's spach. The spines are very long, which I've never seen on a spach. Could very easily be wrong though

Thanks for the replies..

Nah im sure its not a spach, i've got a few of those... it grew almost like a climber on the mother plant, with stems hanging etc... even the thickest pieces were only approx 10cm diameter

Heres one of my spach's
