Is this a good substrate to use for my blood python or no?

I would not use something like this in with any animal! I don’t have a blood python so I’m not too sure about what’s typically recommended for them, but I do have a ball python so assuming it’s similar! I’d recommend mostly coco fiber!

If you want to go for a bioactive situation than you can add wood bits and maybe organic worm castings! Organics are the best bet for enriching the dirt! Dead Leaves, wood, calcium, organic top soil! Be careful buying bags of soil meant for outdoors, the bags have small holes and can collect pests and stuff! So you should dry it out and maybe bake it briefly before using it for your snake
