BTW, "wrinkly" scales are a non-issue...they happen where the snake's body is curled up & the scales push against each other, or against something in the
cage...imagine if your arm had scales and you bent your elbow...those scales would get "wrinkled" from being bent. Nothing to worry about.
Snakes NEED hides, whether or not they bend a few scales, & BPs especially need both a warm & cool hide to feel secure enough to eat & thrive. Please re-
think taking a hide away from your snake. The "rock hides" may be more apt to damage a few scales than the smooth black plastic ones from Reptile Basics,
but one way or another, snakes NEED hides.A snake starving itself from stress is going to have a bigger problem than bent scales, & it won't be pretty.
A snake that bends a few scales from using their hides is roughly the equivalent of you or I have "bed-head" in the morning from sleeping on a pillow, & I
don't know about you, but I'm sure not going to sleep standing up, just so I don't mess up my hair.
