Not sand - beech chips, aspen, hemcore are all fine - as long as she can burrow. I have never used UV lighting with Hoggies and they have all been fine.
Mine do like a damp hide though. I use little disposeable lunchtubs with moist moss or a piece of damp material in it. They are great little snakes and easy to keep. Mark

I know this is a late reply, but do not use sand, ever!
Inhaling it, swallowing it with prey, getting it stuck under scales making them uncomfortable and stressed! Its terrible stuff, I just use regular wood shavings and make it plenty thing, 2-3 inches and your sorted.
