Dwarf Spider

Hi Bri,
This really is an unusual looking spider.  We are posting the photo before we attempt to identify it.  We are a bit busy now and we hope one of our readers will be able to provide an answer.

I think I may have found out what the spider is. Ceraticelus minutus. I’m keeping him as a pet. Some people have dogs. I have a dwarf spider. =] He actually looks alot different now. Hes paps are black and he is turning tan and tangerine. -Bri

Hi again Bri,
Thanks for the follow up information.  We found some photos on the Spiders Electronic Field Guide website.
