Alot of guys up my way in the NT go for the breeders choice (recycled paper pellets), they do look kind of alright but if you have alot of snakes can become expansive. It comes down to personal choice but you've always got to remmber the needs and health of your reptiles should come first.
I personally use different substrate for different species. My diamonds and carpets are on newpaper which i can't fault and for ease of cleaning it can't be beat. For my trio of childrens i use aquarium gravel 3mm i think and it works a treat because their waste isn't as much as for a larger pythons and you can run heat cord or heating mats in it too. All my hatchlings and Blackheads when i had them are with the recycled paper.
It all comes down to what you find works for your needs hopefully the guys will give you some idea's that work and you just go from there.
Good luck.
