I caught this spider up when I went to Big Bear a while ago. Finally got around to taking pictures. Any ideas? I was thinking a type of phid.

Looks like Phidippus johnsoni to me.

Yeah it does. I was only seeing a certain type of color/pattern morph in my search. Thank you.

It could be Phidippus californicus too...but those generally have some red or other color on the top of their carapace.

It could even be a phidippus aduax....I always liked herping phidippus species as pets

Hah....for....whatever reason....I named these "Goliath Spiders" when I was a young child. Good luck taking care of it as I'm looking forward to the pictures you take.
