I just picked up this sling labeled Cyrpsidromus sp costa rica and I can't find any care info about them. I don't even know if it's terrestrial or arboreal. Can anyone help me out?

I can't help you with the exact species you've asked about. But I do own a Crypsidromus puriscal and they definitely aren't arboreal they can be a little firey at times not the best eaters slowish growing and by all accounts a dwarf species although this information is based on my own Crypsidromus

Thanks for the response, so far the info I've found is from the World Spider Catalog. All it says is that Crypsidromus is a synonym for Lasiodora.

Never heard of sp. Costa Rica but I have kept a couple Crypsidromus species before. They were terrestrial, small, feisty, slow/medium growth, good appetite until premoult, appreciated a bit of humidity.

From what I have read on various forums the C pursical (previously Lasiodora pursical) and C sp. Costa Rica could indeed be the same spider (common name "Black emelia"). I have replied purely as I am thinking of purchasing a C sp. Costa Rica and been trawling through Google for "hits".
Do you still have your C pursical and if you do, could you share some pics please? Much appreciated.
