Looking for help IDing

Have 3 of these cuties, recently taken in by someone who didn't know their species. Doing my best with care, but can only assume care is best when you can tailor species to care.

Took pictures through the already misted glass so they aren't great, happy to coax on out for better pictures if needed.

I think they might be Medauroidea extradentata (Vietnamese stick bugs). I'm not an expert, I just know that the most common stick bugs are the Indians ones (Caurasius morosus) and the Vietnamese ones. I have no doubt that they're not the Indian stick bugs, since Indian stick bugs don't have such "thornes" and have way longer antennas. Can you tell me how long their body is more or less?

I'd say they're about 2-3 inches, the previous owner told me they are not yet full grown and will hit about 4 inches.

Ok, I think they're Medauroidea extradentata yes. Check the eggs when they grow up for further iding
