Kevin,
Some keepers have already tried it, and some of them have stuck with it. The no-additive kitty litter. Cheap, safe and effective according to those folks.

Only thing to watch for is dehydration of babies. Some substrates pull moisture from objects in them, and baby snakes have thin skin and small mass. Montane kings, tiny cornsnakes, etc. Just keep that in mind. Humid hide would be good for the more moisture-loss-sensisive species. Not sure if kitty litter does that but just keep an eye open.
