This is a nicely-colored Dysdera crocata, A Woodlouse Hunting Spider. Despite what you might read on some websites, they can’t give big bites to humans with their wide fangs. Physics gets in the way. The fangs are fragile and curve toward each other. The fangs are shaped to wrap around and through the spherical prey the spider hunts.
