I am good friends with who may be the biggest Ball Python breeder in Central Indiana. He uses aspen...but he also uses this substrate. And I used to use Aspen. However, and you should know this, Indiana winters are very very dry. Having gas heat, further drys out your air.
This is called "Reptibark",it is PERFECTLY SAFE for snakes and other reptiles. The only problem that MAY EVER OCCUR is a piece of it sticking to food and getting impacted. Fortunately another tip I got from my friend, and through extensive research I did before ever using this substrate, I lay down a piece of paper towel for the snakes to feed off of so they don't get substrate in their mouth.
Thanks for your suggestion though. And nice to meet a fellow Hoosier on here.

Haha...I didn't finish what I was trying to say here....the Reptibark holds humidity far better than Aspen. That is why I am using it right now because it's so dry in my house.

Lol, okay that's great! Was just making sure...and you don't have to tell me twice how dry it gets here. *licks cracked lips* XD I have humidity hide for my ball pythons and they are in there most often around this time. I mist about every day too so that helps the most.
It's funny you should mention the papet towel thing! I do that with my aspen bedding because I like to just feed in my cages and just don't want them eating it.
