Aaaaanyway, if the scales have smoothed out, it was probably caused by the hide, which sounds like it might be too tight--I had a BP that got coiled so tightly in one of his hides I was unable to get him out until he was ready to come out. Then his scales were pushed up in one section. I followed advice I got here and ditched the hide, and the scales went back to normal... As far as just coiling up by themselves, without being against any surfaces that would restrict the scales, there shouldn't be any lifting. Hides should be small enough to make BPs feel secure, but not necessarily "snug," if that makes sense.

Glad the problem went away! As long as it doesn't resurface and you are comfortable with the feeding schedule he's on, a vet visit isn't necessary.
Well and I should have thought of this before but he had one of those cork hides in his enclosure and he got kinda stuck and freaked out. But I took it out after it happened and got some smaller ones than the one he had. But he fits well into them. Thank you for your help. I'll still be taking him to the vet since my brought up a good point of not ever going. And it would make me more comfortable. Again. Thank you.
