I won't disagree with you. Specialized diets in species usually leads to extinction.

If you only eat potato chips, and the world runs out of chips, you'll have to find another food source, or die.

So yes, being a picky eater for a neonate snake is not good for survival. You need to be able to eat anything and everything so you can grow. As a young snake you can't garuntee you can find a particular prey source, so generalized is better.

It makes about as much sense as hatchlings that never eat.

I don't see an explanation for that either.
