Soils are living and that's part of what makes them work.
One key to my approach to keeping is, to allow our snakes to be equal if not better then wild snakes. Wild snakes have an incredible immune system. They consume parasites with every meal and as you can see in the pictures, They are super strong and healthy. They heal from wounds captives die from and they are not treated by a vet. Heck, some survive being crushed by cars. Again without the aid of a vet. My goal is to support that.
Its worked well, no great so far. So we will keep it up.
All in all, we can discuss until we are blue in the face, but you cannot argue the pictures.
This is were I do part ways with many folks, they compare their animals to other folks animals, I don't and won't. I compare captives to the real things, the animals in the above pictures. Thanks for the question.
