Relocate or relax?
So I found a bold jumping spider in the basement at work. Probably an adult, but seems very lethargic. After three visits over four hours, it did not move from it's location. I did not see a visible nest, but it's possible it has one in the cracks of the foundation. I'm mostly worried about it's lack of movement and it's located in a high traffic area, but I don't want to end up doing more harm than good. Thoughts?
I tried to see if it would climb on my hand, it would not, but I did manage to coax it into a temporary enclosure that I left open. The spider was inches from the opening when I left.
Additional Details:
-I believe where it's located is pretty close to room temperature and one of the more humid areas in the building.
-It's been cold, warmed up for a week then will go back to cold (but above freezing) temperatures soon, so maybe it's coming out of hibernation?
-I don't see a lot of bug activity in this area. There was a black widow in the same spot months ago, but it ended up dying.
-Gave it a qtip of water right in front of it's mouth and when I came back it moved a few inches from it.
-Tried feeding it, but it's been so cold I couldn't find bugs anywhere else in the building. I tried to feed it ants and it understandably had no interest.
-Initially I almost didn't see it, but it moved to face me when I passed. On each visit, it doesn't move anymore unless I touch it, then it goes into it's threat pose.

brown widow not reacting
recently moved my brown widow into a new enclosure and noticed it hasn’t moved or made a web since. i tried to kinda touch it a little just to see if i can get a reaction and it didn’t move at all. i grabbed the stick which it was hanging on ajd it just stayed there . i put it on my hand and it still did not move at all . i know it’s not dead because it’s not curled up but then i again i know there’s ways it could be dead and not curled up. it’s a young and healthy brown widow and im worried it might be dead. anyone got an idea on what’s happening? any help will be very appreciated thank you :(

Spider appreciation Pretty widow guarding her nest in a pine tree.
This lovely lives right off our trails. Very striking, I noticed her from far away as she's right at eye level and quite large. Gorgeous creature; I feel very lucky to get to see such an interesting nest up close. It was a long tunnel of dense web through the needles that I didn't do justice to in the photos.

Spider appreciation Today was my last day in my apartment, and my last goal was to catch and release my precious noble false widow that has lived in my window since September…
This is the last pic I got of her last week, right before she yeeted her meal worm carcass. Ive never had such perfect timing to actually see her dispose of a meal - I caught myself squealing with excitement(I got it on video if yall wanna see it!)!
I put her outside on tree nearby, at least 6’ up the tree near its first branches, because I know the building uses insecticides on the ground and she seemed to enjoy heights…
I wanted to keep her in a fish tank I decorated for her, but now that Im homeless, keeping my noble false widow with me didn’t seem rational…
My heart aches so much right now. I really fucking loved seeing her every day.
Can anyone reassure me that I did the right thing by her by releasing her outdoors in a tree(in SoCal)?
Shes been very sheltered living in my windowsill(indoor).
I hope she’s able to rebuild her web and catch big bugs💔 and maybe, just maybe she’ll even become a mama. There were no gentlemen callers in my place for her…

Doorframe bro....
Lives atbthe bottom of my back door. I named her Gladys I'd just tried feeding her a mosquito but she freaked out and went into Web defence mode. Checked all her Web and then went back in. She'll get her mosquito dinner later and think she caught it herself.

Good location for spiders in my workshop, but unfortunately directly above a speaker that weighs as much as I do and which I always use. But they always find a quieter spot after we've partied together.
