i use a mixture of aspen bedding and repti bark for my lizards purely because they usually bury themselves in it rather than use a hide. but snakes get paper towel or newspaper so much cheaper and easier to clean.

The issue i have with the aspen or bark is you never quite know if you have got all the nasties out, i spot clean and then change all substrate every 2-3 weeks, depending how much faeces i find, and it is damn expensive for the amount you use in a 4 tank. At least with paper you take the whole lot out, give the floor a clean, put in new stuff and your done in 10 minutes and you know it's clean.
