Both the same species (if I'm not badly mistaken). Both indoors within a foot of one another.

Hate to break it to you, but those strongly resemble ticks, not spiders. Do you have any dogs or outdoor cats?

No, and they're definitely not ticks. You're mistaking a (probably gravid) female spider for an engorged tick.
