Sorry for Bad quality video - next time I will try to be better !!

I am pleased to introduce my new ball python morph (late 2010 hatching). It is a piebald with lower whites. I named him 'Buddha'
This video is the first part of his first feeding. It has just been a week or so since I got him. I offered him frozen/thawed mice, but he just asked me to Foff ;) So I got a live mouse from PetCo and fed it. I have a 10 gallon and 40 gallon terrariums.
10 gallon = Feeding enclosure
40 gallon = his home (yes, this beautiful creature is a male)

have 3 hides inside the enclosure. One heating pad with a auto regulator (thermostat) on one side and a hide just above it ( I used Paper towel as a protection from the heat), second hide on the other corner and the third hide somewhere in between (near the water container). I initially used some cheap bedding from pet co and didn't knew it has pine shavings in it and still has same bedding :( didn't want to change immediately. As he had his first meal now, I will be changing it to cypress mulch which I have already bought for 10 $).

Need suggestions here: its a 40 gallon tank and I am planning to use cypress mulch, this 10$ bag will just be enough for one go. If I change the bedding every week. Its like 40$ per month. Please suggest some inexpensive and non-toxic bedding. Newspaper kinda looks unrealistic ;)

As of now, I handle him once a day for 15 minutes and I know to not touch him for 48 hrs after he being fed. I provide clean water every once in three days (use bottled water)

Mist almost daily, some time two times in a day, some times once in two days

Note:
The 40 gallon enclosure has a total of three devices to measure temperature, one device to measure humidity (placed in center), three hides, one heating pad at bottom, one small decorating item, one fake green branch.

Future add-on : Many decorative items (pet friendly), auto humidifier and replace all temp/humidity measuring devices from analog to digital.

** Planning to add some opaque/dark colored plastic/paper on three sides to make him feel secured **
