Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 Do you happen to have a more dorsal shot of the spider? I’m not sure what I’m looking at, if it’s eating something or if that’s all a part of the spider near the mouth. Seeing more detail on the abdomen might help too. Here is one possibility:

That was the only picture I took unfortunately and best of a shot I could get. I will definitely take more pics for future posts!! Thanks so much!
Also they link you sent does look a lot like it definitely a male too. Didn’t see anything saying if it was at all dangerous tho. Only concerned for my small kids. Thanks for all the help it’s very well appreciated!
I did a little bit resarch on the spiders look. I found one look-alike spider; it’s Woodlouse Spider,Dysdera crocata. What do you guys think? could it be?
That species has a tighter eye cluster and prominent chelicerae (jaws), not that you can see them that well here. Also would expect it be redder.
