Yes, that sounds familiar. Basically the snakes diverted resources from organs (such as their heart) and in some cases this was put into good use in increasing the size of their heads.

I'm not sure if that is the EXACT article, I think I read it in a well respect UK news source here in the UK, but the study in question is the same one.
