I had one idea that I hesitated to mention since I've never heard of it before and didn't want you guys to think I'm crazy. I'll go for it though-I thought about trying kitty litter for substrate. It's super cheap to get all natural kitty litter that's just small pellets of clay with no additives. It's made to clump to poop and I'm thinking it'd easily dissolve if ingested.

I know from experience making dart frog backgrounds that it will dissolve into mush if left in water for very long. Obviously it'd still be best to avoid ingestion as much as possible, but I think it'd break down into very fine particles that should be easily passed by a well hydrated snake. I haven't really thought of a downside yet and may give it a test run. Any thoughts?
