i wonder if you could bake it in the oven to kill any bacteria and then reuse it?
Pricey? What kind of substrate are you using? A bag of aspen and 4 snakes will last me 6 months with full monthly cleanings and spot cleaning. $13

And unless you want urine baked bedding, than go ahead. Baking may kill bacteria, but probably not all of the other things in feces and urine.
