Comments & ID Thoughts

Some one suggested it was a "cat faced spider" but I am not sure. It had very large fangs

Hi. This does look to have the pointy shoulders of catfaced spider, but just not certain with this angle.
If you get a close look at the fangs,you will find they are not very big at all on these.
A good glimpse of fangs with this one:

Many people mistake the pedipalps for fangs.
