If you put them on aspen they will burrow but so will most snakes. They are a desert dweller but not in the classic all sand that people tend to picture but rather low humidity, low annual rain fall, and oasis ravines. In this environment snakes tend to burrow into cracks and rock formations to get higher humidity and lower temps during the heat of the day. So yes they will burrow but a simple hide will suffice. I kept them on cypress mulch but I do that with most of my snakes. Most desert snakes are not as "desert" as we think. Most live in well drained soil with leaf litter cover and rock outcrops. They live between the dry outside and wet inside locations within their habitat. For most humidity near 40% is good.
