Pretty sure most shedded skins stretch larger than the actual snake ... maybe wrong

Yes, they sure do stretch! And the longer the snake, the more the shed skin stretched out longer than the actual snake.

that is exactly correct
you can add many feet simply stretching a skin as it dries

The label on it said that, and said that the original snake it came from had been measured at 33 feet. The skin was somewhat longer and had not been stretched.
