Substrate for display cage

Recently bought a BCI, and she is going to be my display snake. I use paper towels in my BP racks, but I want something natural looking for the BCI.
I used to use eco earth coconut back when I had my first BP in a tank, and I hated how it stuck to the water bowl and then dropped every where when I went to change the water. No big deal to just wipe it off with my hand before lifting the bowl outside the cage though. and I did like the look of it.
What natural looking substrate is the easiest to clean?

I would say cypress mulch is the easiest.

2x ...Cypress mulch helped me bump up my humidity as well .... you may want to let it sit out a few days to dry out a little ...it can get lil wet right outta the bag .

x3 Cypress. Awesome for humidity and looks nicer than aspen imo :)

Whatever u decide on stay away from the bark chips. almost lost a couple snakes from them choking on them when they struck for a feeder. good luck

Bark substrates are perfectly fine to use. A snakes windpipe opening is at the very front of their mouths so i dont see how it was possible for your snake to choke on bark. A little bit of bark is fine for a snake to digest. Now if they get a huge mouthful of it then yea you may have to remove some pieces from their mouth, but even then they'd probably be ok to digest it. A few pieces of bark sticking to a prey item would not cause them to choke.
