Hairballs

Hey everyone.

I know that snakes are sometimes like cats in thatbif they injest too much fur, they may have a hairball. Not sure if this is 'bad' for them though, or how to prevent it. I have a female hognose who has as many hairballs in ger tank as poops when I check. She is the only one who does this and has done this since I've got her. She'sotherwise healthy, active, eats regularly (slown down to 1 adult mouse every 14 days), and clearly has a working bowel since she does still have alot of poops. But I'm concerned about the hairballs I keep finding. I'm talking like a good 3-4 a week. They are small, granted, but still odd. My other female hoggie who eats slightly larger adult mice has never given me a furball.

Any info or suggestions would be a great help!

(Also, she has a hot spot of 89 and ambient temp of 76-78, and humidity sticks between 50-60 depending if the ac is on)
