Hi! questions about bold jumping spider:)

[newlyappointedspuderowner]

hellooo i just found this lil dude inside my plant and that terrified me so now i have it in a better place for her and me im almost positive its an audax and female but im just worried she could be pregnant but not too sure what to look for in that case! im also wondering if anyone has an approximation for age also any recommendations for the habit set up would be absolutely welcomed as well, thank you!

Some better pics of the habitat first would help.

those pedipalps actually look like a male spider, can i see her face completely from the front?

looks like an audax indeed but a Location and some brighter photos of the whole back, will help me to remove any outliers.

dont be too scared to open up the enclosure and take photos inside, as long as youre calm and let her relax, they arent that bolty.

Oh yes, thats 100% a juvenile boy. maybe 2ish more molts to maturity. And a phidippus audax indeed!
