Last time I'll ask for help, i promise

These three spiders are the last three that i have that im not sure about. They were all sold to me as stripeknees, that could mean anything Please help me identify these. I believe that the second two are the same spieces, becuase they look very similar. The first one is jet black, while the second two have more purple highlights on the carapace. Any quesses?

 

[Philth]

there all getting quite big

 

[Philth]

this one i think is the same speices as above....? My guess is the last two are Lasiodories striatus, but im not sure, and the first one i got no clue, thanks.

They all seem to be Aphonopelma seemani\ Costa Rican Zebra. The first is the black form, and the second and third are the brown form.

They all look like A.seemani to me too.
I have a brown form but the shop I go to has a black form as well.

The twins liked the brown so we got the brown.

And hon.

Good luck with them.

Considering you got them at a petstore, chances are VERY good that they're all A. seemani....

I dunno, though, the first one kinda looks like E. murinus to me, am I nuts?

Yup

You can see it has the bald patch on its abdomen from kicking urticating hairs. Ephebopus have their urticating hairs on their pedipalps. Hence, it cannot possibly be any Ephebopus species.

I also have no doubt that they are all A. seemanni. Then, of course, I'm just repeating what everyone else has already pointed out.

Dosent the first on look like this spider http://www.birdspiders.com/archive/1/0067.htmfrom Rick West's web site. ?? I always thought that that A. seemani had a brown or orange color on its underside. None of these spiders have that:? I dont know if that link works but check out Lasiodorides striatus on www.birdspiders.com
