I'm glad he's looking better.

I was thinking that the snake was constricting something strange (my snakes will constrict the hemostat if they miss the mouse I'm presenting). I don't think a snake can swallow a wood chip by itself. If something like that is swallowed because it is stuck to a rodent I don't know that any odd behavior would come from it.
Merely speculation on my part, though. The important thing is that all is well with the snake.
As an aside: I would not leave a visible light on 24/7. Animals need darkness to sleep. If you do find you need to provide heat during the night, an undertank heat pad is almost always better in every respect (power consumption, fire safety, ongoing costs for light bulb replacement, and providing darkness).
