It could be that he is in the sand because corn snakes are supposed to be in a bark substrate. You should change to a bark substrate. They dont require a huge ammount of humidity, but should probably misted 2 or 3 times a week. That is what I do with mine and it doesnt have a problem at all. Try to put a ppicture up so everyone can see the problem.
