THey shed their skin as they grow larger, because their skin does not grow. It is believed they evolved from burrowing lizards that did have legs, but as they spent more of their time underground the legs gradually disappeared, as they were not necessary in that environment.

Snakes have no legs because God condemned them to crawl on their bellies.
Genesis 3:14
So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this,
"Cursed are you above all the livestock
and all the wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust
all the days of your life.
Not sure about the skin thing
