I don't think its fair to ask Confidence for proof that flying snakes were the first kind- he is making the best explanation he can given the information he has been told. This is similar to evolutionary stories that we come up with to show how it is possible for a certain feature to evolve, though it is not known exactly how it evolved.
I think it is fair to hold him to the standards you and razd are showing. If confidence wants to state that all snakes came from one parent snake ( flying snakes )and a loss of information was involved, then he should be able to show the research that either tentatively show this or evidence that shows how this occurred.

On a more serious note, other snakes have evolved features flying snakes do not have, such as venomous fangs, hingable jaws, and (oddly enough) accessory forelimbs.
Snake Evolution - Photos of Vestigial Hind Limbs on Snakes These all seem to be increases in information- are they caused by switches? ,
Are there two original snake kinds? This theory is getting awfully confusing to define, much less defend, perhaps a simpler one describes the situation better.
At lest three
kinds. Rattlesnakes, garter snakes and boas are
ovoviviparous, flying snakes are
oviparous
