I've seen one in sand, and there is a sandy area in their natural range. The person I saw always put the frozen/thawed mice on paper plates to avoid sand in the snake's gut. I am currently housing 13 corn snakes. My adults are in cages with about an inch of aspen so they can burrow in it, but my newborn hatchlings are in containers with newspaper. It's easier to monitor for problems that way and my potential buyers can see them much more easily. My hatchlings are for sale because I don't have the resources to house them.

Do not use sand, cedar nor pine shavings. Cedar has volatile oils than will kill your snake; this is a substrate that should never be used with any animal. Pine still has harmful oils, not nearly as much as cedar but I personally don’t approve of it for a corn snakes especially in a glass terrarium where there is less airflow

Not really ,although they wouldn't pay much attention to it. It could be bad for them if you feed your snake in their cage. It can cover their food & possibly cause an impaction in their bowels. Don't use it if at all possible.

They'd probably prefer something they could burrow in, lije aspen shavings (NO cedar or pine!!!)
