I don't know how to ID them, but I blew your image up so people can get a better look.

Aphonopelma sp.
It is an adult male Aphonopelma species, but the theraphosid fauna of America is in a complete mess, so I alerted one of the best experts on the subject to this thread, so please don't move it.
Thanks =)

Aphonopelma spp.
There are many here that are only identified to genus, so maybe the expert would like to take a look there as well?

Also, the URL for this image should stay the same even if it's moved to that page, right?
