Sure, just keep it clean. And be careful when you're feeding it that it doesn't ingest too much of the sand (I know they say it's not supposed to be harmful, but better safe than sorry).
NO. Sand is not just a problem when the snake is feeding. It can clog their cloaca as well. They can get it in their mouths, noses, eyes when they are just moving about the enclosure. It also harbors bacteria and can cause infections.
Colubrids do not do well on sand. It clogs the nostrils and gets between the scales. Keep your snake on aspen, newspaper, paper towel or some other reptile approved wood substrate. Do not use cedar or pine. Feed in a seperate container to avoid ingestion of substrate.
Calci sand always carries the potential for impaction. I don't recommend it for any reptile. It harbors bacteria and is difficult to clean. Reptiles get it stuck in their eyes and nostrils as well. It's one of the worst items on the market today.
