I loop a family member into helping me carry out my 55 gallon outside to hose it off and let it dry in the sun. Sunshine will kill most, if not all, harmful germs, which is why it's great to lug it outside.
I also like the reptibark, but I mix it with dry forest bedding so that I don't have to put in quite so much to not be able to see the bottom.
I side-mounted my "undertank" heater, and it's working extremely well as to creating a very warm end and a cool end. I've had a problem before with my snake burning her belly on the under-tank heater, and with the side mounting it's pretty hard for her to sit on it long enough to burn herself.
If you can, avoid the astroturf. I adopted a male from a family who was keeping him on something similar and it stunk so bad I had to pull over and throw the stuff away at a gas station a few miles down the road. It's much easier (and less smelly) to just spot clean a regular substrate and replace it when needed.
