I am not claiming that vitamin A deficiency is the one and only source of various congenital problems in snakes. I just think vitamin A deficiency should go on the list of POSSIBLE causes that need testing.

You can discard that one upfront. Vitamin A defficiency in animals that eat whole prey is very unlikely. The best source for vitamin A is the liver of the prey and there's plenty there. Even assuming that the dam is vitamin A defficient would not be likely as the first "symptom" is that they will not breed.
