Spider I.D.?

[ovaforty]

I found 5 of these spiders inside my home after wet cold front hit my area, in San antonio, texas.

All 5 were were mature males, with "boxing gloves" and spurs on the 2 front legs. None survived more than week. I did not know at the time about males not surviving and I feel bad that I tried to keep them, when all they wanted was to find a mate....

Sorry about the fuzzy pics, all I have is a cheap webcam.....

P.S. they wre bigger than a nickel, but smaller than a quarter.....

one inch body length, excluding legs....

hi, if you would send them over (preserved in alcohol) I could look and give you a definitive answer.

My first guess would be a trapdoor spider.

Mygalomorph of sorts, but its hard to tell from your pics... Could be a purse-web...

hi, it´s no purseweb. On the second picture you can clearly see, that the labium is divided from the sternum.

Thanx for the replies. I think that they were trapdoor males searching for females. My local petshop has one (female, I think) that someone brought to them. I am not the only house that got invaded.
If anyone wants, i can buy it and send it to ya.
