I figured it out and I was wrong: Yes they live outside in the dirt and sand, but they are free to move about as they please. In a cage/terrarium, they can not get out and will continue to try; in my kings case, the sand and dirt abraded it's nose until it was raw & bloody. I removed the course substrate and replaced with Aspin shavings and the snakes nose healed up quickly.
