Aspen is quite absorbent, but you have to be careful of leaving it wet or damp for long because it also molds very easily.

Re: What substrates are ABSORBENT?
yeah cypress mulch works well and it looks very natural. the only downside is that it is a little more costly. if your looking for a natural look than i would use cypress. my next choice would be aspen but as stated before it can mold. coco bedding doesnt mold and it can be misted to keep a higher humidity. do not use cedar, pine or corn husk. these will harm the snake.

I've had great results from cypress mulch as well. Reptibark is another good option.
