Due to the elongated fangs, it’s reminding me of Woodlouse Hunter spiders. A front down view of the spider would help IDing this spider for sure.
Hi, I agree that it is a woodlouse hunter, probably Dysdera crocata. It has fangs that move horizontally and overlap. They are for catching and puncturing specifc types of insect prey.
