I don't have my glasses on and the marking between the two are very similar. I'm more willing to say it's a Grey wall jumper as they're more common in Florida.

Jumping spiders are very docile and curious spiders; usually being pets of some sort. They do carry venom, yet it's very mild and has been compared to a mosquito bite.

Like most spiders, they don't like being held. So while this one was being very sweet when I transferred it outside, I didn't want to keep it on me and risk it getting stressed enough to bite.

Fun fact: I wanted to own a Jumping spider! I had the terrarium ready and everything; However, my Father is a massive arachnophobe - especially when it comes to teeny tiny ones.

it looks like a tarantula on the floor in my opinion

I did think originally that it may have been some form of Dwarf Tarantula, but the way the eyes are situated on its head, It confirmed that it was not.

Most (not all, of course) Tarantula have two larger and more prominent eyes, while this dude had almost even eyes all around. I could very well be wrong as I'm not an entomologist, but it does also resemble the spider I almost picked up as a pet 🙂↕️ (The photo is also incredibly zoomed in, the lil guy was about as big as my thumb nail, which is why I mentioned dwarf tarantula instead of a regular "full grown" one)

Also, there's no common species of Dwarf tarantula in Florida that I'm aware of. I think the smallest that resides here naturally is the Red rump tarantula.
