I don't like care fresh a lot. I use it for my brumation boxes, because it absorbs humidity very well and they don't eat so there is no worry about them ingesting it. But I don't use it for my breeding tanks. Newspaper pellets are less likely to stick to food, easier to spot clean, are easier for the snake to remove, and lets face it - they are cheaper.
