Según lo que leí la B. vagans no se encuentra en Costa Rica, solo en México, Belice, El Salvador y Guatemala (y creo que Florida), así que es poco probable que sea de esta especie. Pero gracias por la sugerencia

No estoy seguro Nacho pero creo que es una Mexican Red-Rump Tarantula Brachypelma vagans. las veo comunmente en la peninsula de Yucatan.
