I found the above spider in my L. Difficillis cage today while feeding.

The L. Difficillis seems to be quite happy, especially after I dug him out of his hole to see if he is still ok.

Please could I get help in identifying the little 5 leg spider. The Spider is red with a lighter rump. It seems he and the L. Difficillis had a fight and he came out second best with only 5 legs still intact.

Is the second pic the L.difficillis?
The reason I ask is that it is definitely not a difficillus in that pic. Although the pic is terrible, it looks like a C.fasciatum too me. judging by the color.

Life is not measured by how many breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If I'm not mistaken it is a mouse spider?!
(Double check me someone, I can't find my book to double check myself :P )

That does look like a Gnaphosid (Mouse spider)
