Any safe bedding will work for ball pythons. I currently use ReptiChip for all my snakes (you could use prococo at half the price ive just never tried it). I have also used butcher paper, Unprinted newspaper, paper towels, aspen, and Eco-Earth. All of them were practically the same. All my snakes ate, and all of them shed well. I do NOT advise butcher paper. It cost me about $20 for 8 months (20 snakes and I still have half of the roll left) of bedding. It does not soak ANYTHING though, so everytime there's pee or poo you have to wash your snake because there will be pee dripping off of them. It was awful and took forever to finish my daily cleanings. I heard unprinted newspaper was more absorbent. I purchased 70 Lb of it and switched to Reptichip before using it so I don't have a personal review on it. I'm in love with the cleaning\humidity levels of Reptichip.
