Default Soil Mix for Planting Grass?

What would be the right soil mix for planting grass in a snake vivarium? The grass ill be using is Bermuda grass which is a warm season grass, very resistant to drought, and doesnt require much water but does need good airation. I was thinking of a mix of Peat Moss, Worm Castings, fine Orchid Bark, and Charcoal. Would this be a good mix? I dont want the soil too damp for the snake but still provide plenty of water for the grass. This will be my first attempt at growing anything.

hmmm.... even though it is just a grass... i would do some thing like:

-3 parts sand
-2 parts peat
-1-2 parts orchid bark
-1 part castings

Oh and I would add a layer of leaf litter ontop for a "natural look"



OT***** man I sounded like martha stewart for a second HAHAHA
