This sounds like what I was thinking when I heard the first description. I've seen it in a few burmese, but it was most obvious in a green burm I had, probably just because of the color. I can't be sure, but I came to the conclusion that it was simply scales being bent at natural creases that formed as the snake lay coiled up. This snake was also fairly heavy, so maybe the extra width tended to make it more pronounced. They didn't seem to cause a problem and were not permanent. I did think they were scars the first time I saw them...
