As with anything concerning the keep of ball pythons, I believe there are multiple ways of doing substrate, and no one "right" way. How a person chooses to keep their snakes depends on their specific setup. I myself use coconut fiber bedding for my bp, as it seems very soft and natural, but does dry out rather quickly with my CHE. Saying bedding is bad because you don't like it is like saying racks or tanks are bad. It depends on what works for your situation. Just as long as you are meeting all of your snake's needs, that's all that matters.
