Looking to spice things up

Alright, so I'm not complaining or anything but I have a problem with my KSB terrarium... I want it to look, well more natural. Like you just walked into the African plains yourself and came across a beautiful sand boa... His cage... Well... Looks like you just walked into a lumber mill.

I have nothing against Aspen, it treats him well and I haven't had a problem with it concerning the snake himself, but I can't stand it.

A} It reeks of wood. I can't stand the smell no matter how many times I go over the room with febreeze.

B} It's messy. It's on my clothes, all over the floor, my dog's eating it up. I can't really vacuum it too well, either.

C} It's given him mites. This had only happened once, but it was a seriously bad case of these filthy bugs and I know they can't attack people, but it was in my room and I didn't sleep in my own bed for weeks. The couch was more comfy than that mattress....

D} It's unattractive. It looks awful, it smells awful, and it's everywhere. It's like that {Excuse this reference, I freaking love this show} Spongebob episode where Spongebob gets the ick and spreads it all over the Krusty Krab.

Now, my biggest problem is C cause I'm just anxiety-prone, but I'll admit that all four of these things bothers me. Now, I feed him in a separate bin and change the water out on a daily basis so I don't think I will worry about him ingesting anything, but I did sand once and won't do it again. It would always get under his lips and I'd have to pry his mouth open to wipe it off GENTLY with a wet Q-tip {And get my hand bit}.

Now, does anyone have any suggestions they could give me? I won't mind if it's not natural, but I just can't stand this aspen anymore :/
