Kevin,
I think Sani-Chip is one of the best substrates out there for many types of commonly-kept snakes.
Never saw impaction, but I have had to remove pieces stuck inside the mouth of snakes. Still, never saw an issue from it.
Here is a pic of a substrate I am using now (rosy cage) - it is a recycled paper product in granular form. Too large to get stuck in teeth and soft enough to break down quickly in a snake's gut.
Does tend to suck the moisture out of certain types of moisture-sensitive baby snakes, so provide a humid hide or other mechanism.
