That is a Southwestern brown recluse. They grow to very large sizes in Mexico.

Would you be happy if she compared you to a Big Hunk bar?

Not a recluse. Too big, too fuzzy, and no violin patten on its cephalothorax...How to ID a brown recluse

We get them all the time in San Nicolas.
My friends there, when asked specifically, have told me that they don't even know if they bite. That tells me that there is no history of them having
given anyone any problem. About 1.5" in diameter, very cute and fuzzy, and kind of fast.

definitely something to check for and be aware of. Got to watch the dark areas and where you put your toes and fingers and where you
sit/sleep 
Sometimes you really do question; why you are and where you are.

Spiders are cool. Some of THE most wonderful animal art is the sun shining through the dew on a perfect spider web in the morning in the woods. Some
of them make a new web everyday by disassembling the old one and recycling the "silk". Part of my work is to carefully inspect the crawl spaces of
old houses. I spend a lot of time with Black Widows. Interestingly, I started out both claustrophobic and arachniphobic. (sp) I still get a little
freaked sometimes when the space is too small to turn over.
Here's a great site debunking a lot of spider mis-information.

You must be a Home Inspector. I used to do that too. Never did like crawl spaces. Fortunately about 99.9% of all I did were cement slabs.
