I personally have gone to loose substrates as my preference.

With my 300+ gram corn, I was finding he would pee or poop and make me need to fully replace it at least once and usually twice a week. With all his decor it was a pain to do. Besides that, he would often pee enough that it would soak under his hides and half the time he would be found laying in it which was gross. The paper could only absorb so much, so he would get it all over him too. Spot cleaning a loose substrate doesn't require me to remove him and all his things to keep it clean, so I've begun preferring that. And it always absorbs all the pee so you never pick up a wet-from-pee snake.

My 2 corns and honduran are all a bit different.

The biggest corn got moved to bioactive with plants recently, so he is on an ABG mix. He loves how deep it is that it allows him to burrow, which was a surprise since he never did with 1-2 inches of reptile prime before. Bioactive means I only need to worry about removing big waste puliles and the clean up crew deals with urine and small bits for me.

My smaller corn is on sani chips. Waste tends to stay on the surface and is easily spotted and cleaned. He is in a PVC cage, so 0 worries on too low humidity.

My honduran is on reptile prime and is about 250 grams, so his waste is also easy to spot despite the color matching. He does burrow in it and seems to like it a lot more than when I tried to use paper.

To each his own, of course, but I stick to loose substrates outside of QT tubs.
