Heyo, yesterday i found a jumping spider on the windsheild of my moms car. She actually caught it for me and now I have it in a little home made enclosure (big gallon sized mason jar) its about the size of a quarter when stretched out. Doesn’t have a name yet and I have caught some little flies which i am keeping alive until he needs to eat again in about 4 days. 1, i need name ideas (ill send pictures), and 2 I would like to know if this is a for sure putnam jumping spider. I have been able to handle it and it acts like a little puppy and naps when i use a small soft paint paint brush to stroke his back.

its hard to tell, it is definitely a female, it looks gravid, I would feed it sooner than 4 days and you should probably buy some feeders, I wouldn't recommend using wild caught flies. I need a dorsal shot to positively id it.
