Red face ID's Needed embarrassingly

OK folks i'll come clean straight away, I did a big no no and bought something i'm not 100% what it is. They were on ebay and were listed as "Blue Femurs" and they only cost me £23.00 for the pair but the person i bought them off only used a catalogue picture for them and until just now i hadn't seen them. He tells me ones male and ones female, but thats pretty much about what he knew. He didn't know the latin name or anything else that i know i should've found out before buying them but whatever they turn out to be for £23 i'm happy.

So on with the ID parade.....

This is the female


And this is the Male


All help is apppreciated as ever guys and girls and please don't me for being silly

I thought that....obviously not the best time of been posting. I've got him in a crick tub at the mo, got him warming up as he was pretty cold when he got here (No heat pack in the packaging ) what would you advise being the best thing to do without stressing him out even more that he has been already??

So they're gonna eat me out of house and home as all my others do ah well.

Anyone got any ideas what to do with the male as he looks very close to moulting? should i leave him as he is now undisturbed in a cricket tub or put him in a home??

I would just put him in his tank with a hide and a water bowl, put him somewhere warm-ish, and leave him alone.

I had a very pre-moult male M. robustum posted to me and it moulted that same night. So don't be surprised if he has a brand-new skin when you wake up tomorrow.
