Burmese Substrate - Need Opinions

Hello,

So I want to rearrange my reptile room and I really dislike the enclosure in which I have my burmese. He's a big guy and the enclosure looks nice, but it's really impractical. So I'm going to build another.

Pretty much, tell me what you think about this:

--- Substrate!!! Would using substrate make cleaning up his messes easier? Doing so seems like it would. He's 15 feet and about 90 pounds, and because I need others present to tend to him, I can't always clean up his messes immediately. He produces copious amounts of fluid, and substrate seems like it would absorb the mess.

--- What's your experience using sliding doors on tracks? I currently have a pull down, ramp-type door and it's impractical when I feed him. Putting in food and taking it out if he doesn't eat it is an ordeal. However, I use a sliding track style door with my savannah monitors, and the clips intended to keep the door on its track come off, and I'm concerned about him possibly pushing the door off the track. Although, I was thinking that if the door was locked, this wouldn't be an issue (and the door would be locked).

---What experiences have you had with keeping large constrictors on something similar to a bioactive substrate?

Thanks for reading my thread!
