No misting at all. They are a desert tarantula that prefers dry conditions. The bottom layer of your substrate should be damp...not super wet. To achieve this you can use a straw along the side of the enclosure to get the water at the bottom. This will keep the top dry like they want. As they want cooler more moist conditions they will burrow deeper. Just a water bowl is all they need up top.
