I was just talking to my friend about this... I switched to newspaper, cause I had found 2 mites on my bp, and so far so good. NO MITES, & oh it's so much easier to clean the cage up. My bp has a natural background, a some fake plants, 2 hides, and climbing wood. he is in a glass cage.

But I understand that most of these ppl on here breed, & keep more than a few snakes... If I was to have more than the one, I would more than likely switch to a tub too.
