I often used long leaf sphagnum moss and this year I'm using good ol' sphagnum peat moss (as in pic above). It's more natural (have you ever seen a wild snake nest in vermiculite?) and they like to burrow and "nest" in it.
Years ago I had a Cal king that was a very active "nester". When I used vermiculite in her box, it got all over her and into her nostrils and mouth. Probably was harmless but she looked like she had it caked in there...I didn't like bothering her during that time to clean her up but felt I needed to and to switch media....
