Several Hoggie Questions

Going to make this a bit brief as I really just want some answers (and I'm mega tired lol).

1. Are western hognoses shy? 3 of my 5 seem to flat out refuse to use their hides. And one sprawls out in the open!

2. How active are they usually? Out of my 5, I have one that seems to not stop moving if being handled, or for a good while after being put back in her tank. She will also be very active at randome times in her tank.

3. Do they need heat? I have UTHs on all their tanks, but none seem keen to lay on them. (87 hot spot)

4. Do snakes actually get hairballs? (Found one in the active female's tank this evening). How oftendoes this usually occur?

5. I have one who seems to have extra dry scales. To ensure her next shed is a good one without bumping her humidity too much into the 'danger zone', what can I do? She doesn't seem to be uncomfortable amd doesn't soak. But her scales are VERY dull and just look super dried out.

6. What causes wet poop other than a diet of non-furred things? (Will have to snap a pic next time I see it).

Also, anything else you think I should know or watch out for. Please keep in mind that 4 of these guys were rescued between 1 and 2 weeks ago with little more info than their gender and morph types. 2 will be seeing a vet tomorrow for any possible issues. (Mostly concerned about possible RI).

ThNks in advance! I look forward to lots of answers!
