It's a Cyriocosmus sp.

@Arachnomaniac19 yeah, but to date there is no record of them being in Costa Rica.
Might take her to the university, to see what I can find.

I have two Cyriocosmus species; I friggin love them. I think this may be Cyriocosmus sp. venezuelensis

@Caseyface what I find confusing is yes, looks very similar. But she has 5 complete rings on her abdomen and a 6th almost connecting. A breeder here said she's a c. Fasciatum. I'm confused

Davus ruficeps or some other Davus; it's definitely not a Cyriocosmus.

@Kat Maehl - Oooh, such a mystery you have here!! I am confused, too. She's definitely a little cutie, for sure.

@Caseyface I'm so glad you think so! I adore her. I named her Danni!

Would also go with D. ruficeps, there are known in Costa Rica.
Wait for a molt, then it is easy to check, whether it's a Cyriocosmus or not. Cyriocosmus spp. don't have teeth on the tarsal claws while all other Theraphosinae spp. (except for Euathlus/Phrixotrichus, but they are found way down in South America) have.
