i have a pueblan milk snake...but heres the problem, he likes to go under his substrate, where i work we sell sand and soil, i wanna make his habitat as natural as possible, could i maybe use soil and plant some live plants in their or is that not healthy for him?

Don't use sand or soil! I learned that the hard way a few months ago. My little hatchling had a RI that was not responding to vet care, turns out that it was the sand I had it on irritating its little repiratory track! Thanks to the experts on this board who figured it out for me and saved my snake.
