Reptiles absolutely can get obese. But not the same way that mammals do. Reptiles store discrete lumps of fat in the ceolomic cavity. Mammals throw fat everywhere in the body where it effects all of your organs, blood vessels ect.

I think reptiles in general can get fat especially pythons. But I have yet to see a kingsnake that is fat unless it has a genetic abnormality to store fat.
