Who would win a scorpion or a snake?
Assuming the scorpion and snake are of average size for their type. I would say the snake is going to win. I say this because a scorpions venom couldn't kill the snake. If it hit the snake right between the eyes, then maybe. But the likelyhood of that happening is slim to none. The snake would win, because even if it wasnt venomous, all it would take is one very good bite to break the scorpions exoskeleton.

What to feed a baby mole snake?
Feed the lil guy kitten formula warm out of a dropper, and a mix of red meat such as ground beef mixed with kitten formula. Gradually add chopped worms into the mix of food. As the mole matures give less and less kitten formula and rely on only a mix of insects(avalible in petco and like stores) organic earth worms and a variety of raw ground meat.

Please remember it is important to provide light physical contact such as light petting. Lightly rub the back side of the baby after eating to stimulate a bowel movement as the mother would do.
