I'm sure anything is possible if you have the right amount of CA$H. Sounds like something expensive. I'm also not sure how a snapper would take to being sedated. Best of luck with what ever you decide. I really hope you find the piece of tubing in the tank somewhere.
Where would the vet to open the Turtle to remove the piece? Pulling objects out the mouth of any animal can cause serious issues. Good luck finding the piece in your tank. I have lost things in substrate before.

they would probably give him an x-ray first just to see the location and size of the object within the turtle and then go from there.
I have no idea what it would cost. Best bet is to call a vet and tell them the problem and see what they say. Definitely start with x-rays first and then go from there.
in this one episode of emergency vet they removed 45 cents from an iguana that ate it off of a counter, cost 800 bills to remove 
your lookin at something along those lines....i think.

how big is this piece he swallowed?
if its small enough more than likely(if its not that big according to what they say) he will crap the thing out.
