Sounds like he is hibernating,is the tank at the right temperature is the tank too dry,to wet what substrate are you using could be a number of things.

When you say wood chip, do you mean like wood shavings - like used for rabbits and things? I'd swap to coir, compost or sphagnum moss, wood shavings aren't really suitable for snails.
