Hi, I just got two tarantulas today but the guy wasn't sure which kind of aphonopelma were they... He said maybe hentzi or anax...
I was hoping someone here could tell me which if any of those, are they...

Im not even sure they are the same species, but they look very similar...
The first pic is of a large female (that looks gravid to me)... and the second is of a medium sized unsexed one...

Thanks in advance...

you might as well be asking "what colour of underwear is <insert someone's name here> wearing right this second?"

There are so many undescribed and very similar looking Aphonopelma species that it makes ID'ing from a picture (which in itself is virtually useless) extremely pointless.

Lovely spider though.
