If using wood chips just make sure its the dust free kind...
newspaper, bark, woodchips are all good substrate, some just look better than others..

I feed mainly on pinkies but when they are young start them off on chopped pinkies and chopped trout..worms are great for getting a problem snake to eat, also as a treat as they love them, but careful which ones...as brandlings (redder worms found in compost..) can be acidic and poisonous...

Ask the petshop to ask the breeder what he was feeding before..
