    Re: Can rocks be probed?

    I would call one of the more popular breeders, hopefully they know, I don't think i've ran across anybody on the site that has a rock python.

    Re: Can rocks be probed?

    i don't know rocks at all, but i do know that rocks and burms are closely related and pretty much all boids are relatively similar. other than those that have fragile spines as neonates, i've never heard of not being able to probe a boid. rocks definitely don't strike me as fragile either!

    See i have never heard of any snake being unable to be probed.I think the person might have misunderstood Mr. Clark.I will add any info when i get it.

    Re: Can rocks be probed?

    Nope, can't probe any of em.

    I've tried granite, malachite, diamond, quartz, limestone, sandstone, shale, marble and several other generic rocks and none of them were probable.

    Joe, you do know that rocks, as a rule, are fairly solid objects, right?
