It seems that most people use aspen shavings for their snakes. I have used Cypress Mulch in the past and I like that a lot too. Just don’t use Cedar shavings. For the other animals you requested I would suggest looking on their perspective forums. All the information you want concerning substrate is on the forums, just look a little and it is there.

Snakes - no cedar or pine. Seems most people use aspen (for lower humidity snakes), cypress mulch, newspaper (cheap and easy to clean), astroturf or other carpet like product or reptibark.
