TNK is right, the mites didn't come in on the driftwood. The animal needs to see a Vet for the stomatitis and or respiratory infection. It's a shame you didn't notice for 2 or 3 weeks, snakes need daily maintenance. Making sure the temps maintain, water evaporation, scum in the bowl, humidity and MITE inspection! Also, 3 weeks shouldn't "thin" a snake out. They are built go without food for 6 months without skipping a beat. In the mean time, if you google "stomatitis treatment for boas" you should find some "at home" remedies to prevent further infection before your trip to the Vet. Keep it hot, some people like low humidity but I keep mine at normal levels. You can also look into ordering Tylan to treat the stomatitis but I prefer Amikacin because it's more aggressive/successful.
