>>Is it possible that their diet has exceeded their metabolic requirements? Skin can stretch but scales don't.

well it only happens during the shed cycle and after they shed their scales are touching again. so that probably is not it.

I dont think their scales are streching the snake looks larger then it usually is and the scales are definately spread out showing the interstitial skin.
