I keep all mine on beech chip and they love digging in it even the little ones.

My young female is very hissy but has never attempted to bite. She'll head butt but if that fails she rolls over and plays dead. Really funny to watch.

I use aspen for mine - whichever the snake seems to prefer seems the best way to me. The aspen will hold burrows I've found (mine is the fine stuff) so you get these little holes here and there - unless you're cruel like me and collapse them so they dig some more Mine is an adult female and she's a really sweet, docile snake.
