Has anyone tried using a Yesterday's News-type product as Ball Python substrate? For those unfamiliar with it, it's compressed pellets made of 100% recycled paper. It's marketed a lot as a cat litter substitute but it's also used as small animal bedding sometimes.

Since it's only recycled paper in a pellet form I'm assume it wouldn't be harmful to snakes.. One of the bags of it that I have may contain some baking soda though, I'll have to check. I just really hate this stuff as cat litter (and so do my cats)...it'd be nice to get some kind of use out of it.
