Yeah, I deleted my last post as I really am not at all qualified to comment.

Although I still say that it does not look too 'mouse spiderish' but does appear to have pinkish fangs. I just 'kinda' hope it turns out to be something a little different than your 'run-of-the-mill' trapdoor.

I don't know if your supposed to do this or not but here are a couple of links that might help;
