My pleasure...
No real need to use organic soil, unless there is some risk of unusually heavy doses of insecticides (or worse!); I collect from the grounds of the Bx Zoo, or in local wooded areas, mu yard, etc. Depending on the species, you can mix in coco-husk, dead leaves, sphagnum moss, peat, etc. I have (as usual!!) an article for you...doesn;t go into substrat too much, but covers general considerations for naturalistic snake terrariums:
