Hey Jennie,
It looks like one of our babies! :-) yes, that is an Aloe not sure the variety.
Hint: repot it and it's babies will come up throught the soil around it and probably won't bloom. From our experience it raisies blooms to the air like this to procreate as there is not enough room in the pot for it to grow it's babies.
You will be surprised how large they will grow. These days it takes three of us to move the plant.
Awesome pic, that spider would scare me too. :-)
