That is one sentence taken out of the rest of the article. The article studied animals in the wild with periods of famine, and even said in the main article that prey availability affects growth. They may be considering the potential to grow their entire lives as having indeterminate growth, or maybe I misunderstood some points, but as I discussed above what I read was very different from saying they have indeterminate growth.

What happens when a snake has plenty of food throughout their lives, with no period of famine?
