I agree on everything you said. Captive snappers probably are overfed. Hibernating is better for their health. My two adults are allowed to every year. Young captive hatchlings might be better off if kept warm and fed to get a good headstart during the cold months( just an opinion). But I doubt anyone could beat the diet you described.
