Substrate ? for new corn

Yeah!! My new corn snake that I ordered is arriving on Thursday. I posted here recently regarding the tank size, and you guys helped me a ton on deciding to go w/ a 20L with lots of hides, but I actually would appreciate some advice about the substrate.

I am not sure how deep it should be??? I read in a forum that vita sand - a substrate for reptiles (some how fortified with calcium and vitamins), is a good substrate for many reasons; accidental ingestion, easy to clean, etc. I think some people might call it calcisand or reptisand. I only have one other snake (a sand boa) for which I use crushed walnut shells and that is four inches deep. I understand corns don't really burrow that much and just care more about having hides and climbs(taken care of that already). I am just curious how much substrate (depth) you all use.

Thanks in advance,
Traci
