Get a colubrid or a boa, they adapt better to display enclosures and aren't as secretive(generally speaking).

Try newspaper once.. Once you actually see how much urine they produce that is hidden under all that bark, you'll likely clean ALOT more. Cypress works pretty well, but isn't easy to spot clean IMHO. It can be a bit messy.

my enclosure is appropriate for my snake and it looks great. abby (the snake) and i are happy with it;)

i would never use bins for a snake unless i were a breeder to make it cost effective so in my case, as well as many others, an aquarium is for a snake.

sure she sits in her hide most of the time but when she comes out looking around and doing laps around the tank she turns into a "display snake".
