Oops, sorry Frank, I misinterpreted your account...

"every time one of them sheds they change in physical appearance."

I thought that meant after they shed, not pre-shed. In either case, I'm sure I would have known if you were overfeeding.

Let me offer another possibility...perhaps they are retaining as much water as possible to facilitate the shed. In my limited experience I have noticed that my snakes generally retain feces for sometime prior to shed and then dump immediately post shed. I have guessed that fluid retention in order to assure proper hydration during the shed cycle is the advantage here but of course I have nothing to back that up.
