The top one kinda looks like an Ephebopus Murinus to me, the second T I have no clue and will not even offer a guess LOL
The house spider is a wolf spider? correct me if I'm worng but I'm very certain that is a wolf spider.

Great photos! Not the greatest for identification purposes, but honestly, those would make great avatars or just plain tarantula pics, I love the angles and poses!
So, try grabbing a few photos from above so you can see the carapace a bit easier. Here is an example

Image

The photos you added show the legs and colors great, but looking at the body would help a bit more. That second one is definately G. pulchra. I can't be certain without a better pic of the body, but I'll say G. pulchra. The first one looks like G. pulchripes, aka former G. aureostriata, but I've never had one and it doesn't look absolutely right, there's something wrong about it, so I'll wait until someone who is more experienced in this species comes along and corrects me. Last one is a spider
:hehe:

Sorry about the bad pic's for IDing....I never gave much thought about the angle of pic all that much to be able to ID them better..but understand what your saying....I took those pic's before even thinking about getting into tarantulas..this is very helpful to know for future pic's I take... :cheers:

Yep the first is Grammostola pulchripes and the second is Grammostola pulchra. No idea on the true spider though as they are not my thing.

I didn't realize that G. pulchripes carapace looked like that? But then again Grammy are far from my specialty. (like I actually have a specialty!)
