If you choose orchid bark make sure you give it some time to dry prior to putting it in the viv. It is very damp when you first open the bag and would cause too much humidity until it's dried out.
The down side to orchid bark is that the snakes can't burrow in it and it can be difficult to see the results of a digested meal!! 
Hmm, our CRB has no problem at all burrowing in her orchid bark, it's where we usually find her!
I use lignocel for the corns - it does get everywhere though lol  |

Uh... orchid bark? I've heard of people using that as a substrate and it does look more 'rustic' or 'natural' than aspen. |

Sand, no. It'd be like you wiping your bottom with sandpaper! Lol. Stones would look nice but they like to burrow so it wouldn't be very practical for them and it'd be a lot of work come cleaning day for you |
