Hopefully this link on Substrate will help, although it doesn't include the more modern options. A lot of us use either Hemcore or Aubiouse , a horse bedding.
There is also what's been mentioned.... Lignocel , which this thread discusses, Megazorb and Repticard.
I must admit that I'm like ScalySituation....I use Hemcore at the moment but am probably going to change to Lignocel when I need new substrate. It's more expensive than other stuff, but sounds worth it.
Hope that helps.
