You can use the same substrate you have been if it works for you. Most people like paper because it is cheap and easy to clean.
Other substrates are usually only spot cleaned. However, for me at least, using paper towels I can easily see when there is even a small amount of urine (which you can not tell from other substrates) and I fully clean the cage and replace the substrate.

Aspen, Cypress, Newspaper, and Paper Towels in my opinion make great substrates, it depends on your needs and your animal. In all honesty I can't think of one species of snake that could not be kept on at least one of the four.
