I rehoused my 3 at around 1.5" and only one ever dug in its new enclosure and only a hollow to bolt into when disturbed. I rehoused my little Nicaraguan curly a week ago and so far it hasn't burrowed at all although it's only just over 0.5".
Both of mine started staying in view about that size also, seems like that's the common size for most Brachy's to stay out in the open more, also about the time they're adult colors start showing up bold.
Is you substrate moist? i found with mine they wouldn't burrow if the substrate was dry, i had to moisten it and then i never saw them for months lol

I always kept mine dry only trickling a drop of water on the side every few days when they were in the vials. Once I moved them into 3" cubes they just got a water dish and the Hondurans still burrowed. It was only after their moves to larger containers that they stopped digging. The Nicaraguan has just gone into a 3" cube but hasn't burrowed, in fact it has taken to climbing.
