Most snakes are not going to like a sand substrate, sand can get under scales and be quite irritable. Calcium sands would be more so as they tend to have sharp edges.
Peat moss would be very acidic and hold perhaps too much moisture/humidity. This could be a problem too.
Muclh and barks while they look nice are a pain to clean, fairly expensive and as noted can stain your snakes.
I like a aspen bedding, inexpensive, absorbant, easy to clean and no staining, with a hide box filled with moistened sphagnum moss. The sphagnum will add to the overall humidity and works well when BPs are shedding.

There is a difference between ignorance and stupidity. The ignorant can be taught, stupidity is beyond our control.
