Depends on the specimen, although smaller fossorials tend to acclimate quicker then adults IME. I bet it burrows in no time, dont forget your water dish btw.

That substrate looks really wet. Anywho, you could add some plant decorations which it might web up like mine did. I had mine in 10 gal tank with substrate over half way full from the top of the tank. Had a swirly big piece of cork bark with a few fake plants around the entrance of the hole that was in the swirly part. Mine stayed out in the open for about a week before making her burrow. Once she settled, it was basically a tank of potentially dangerous substrate lol. I used a mixture of sphagnum moss and coco fiber substrate and scattered some of the extra moss along the top of the substrate and around the bark. Overflowed the water dish once a week to once every 2 weeks. Never had any problems.

My Lividum took a few weeks before she finally burrowed, probably won’t take as long with a juvenile like you have there. Is there anything in there for it to hide under? Might make it feel more comfortable.
On a separate note, it’s not exactly important but it should be C. Lividum now, genus name changed to Cyriopagopus

Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated... I'll put some hides in from her old setup and go from there!
Update.
All sorted, false plants and a piece of drift wood put into the set up. Hopefully she settles very quickly, she's currently very aggressive!

I actually have no idea exactly how old she is, I bought her fully grown at a bird market here in Guangzhou China. I’ve had her for six years =)
Thanks =D

That's (first pic) an incredible wet substrate
Don't exaggerate with water.
