When they are bent in a certain way it definitely does happen. It would happen to my boa all the time, she would be laying in a way that would cause a wrinkle and when she straightened out again there would be a line of bent scales.

In the first photo it looks exactly like that. In the second photo it looks like they simply got a little roughed up from trying to get out out of the hide. That's all.
