Keep the sub predominantly dry. Enclosure should have a suitable hide, water dish and its that simple.

Mine liked a wet spot here and there so i didn't keep it all dry. She had a bit of a temper as well, threatposturing and even slapping the tongs. Fun little missy. Had to sell her because of my allergy towards Brachypelma hairs.
Fun species to keep, eats like a horse and grows rather quick for a Brachypelma

My B. kahlenbergi sling burrows even after I rehoused recently and comes out in the open when it's huntin/feeding time, he's a voracious eater for sure! I kept mine mostly dry and just overflow the water dish occasionally...

They burrow a lot as slings, like other Brachypelma, but stay out in the open more as they grow bigger.

Just arrived and it’s gorgeous! Seems very gentle and docile, just saw it’s grooming itself 3 mins ago, bet the transport got her hair messed up lol

First Molt since getting he/she.
Very exciting to find out the sex & see how much it grows.

Brachypelma kahlenbergi Is from Veracruz, Mexico area not the typical northern desert brachy. The 3 slings I raised to 3.5" seem to enjoy having a damp corner/side in the enclosure. Oh and they are stunning when freshly molted

Thanks for the tip, will make sure there’s a damp side/corner. Awesome pic you posted.

I think it’s male...

Beautiful after Molt

Great species! My little boy outgrew his burrowing tendencies around 3" and now just hangs out on the surface all the time.

 

[Arnold2017]

Wow he’s awesome.
