I'm not sure about sani chips but I've used aspen over the years for almost all my babies up to yearling age if not sold yet. I've never had a snake get hurt due to aspen choking or impaction. I do dry rodents most of the way before feeding on the aspen.
I've never figured out why people worry about it. If they have a snake hurt by eating off aspen I would have to assume the snake must have been sick or their was something else involved although I assume a freak accident could occur.
