Can rocks be probed?

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

Very funny. :gj: for a creative mind.

The only issue I've heard of with big snakes is that the probe won't ever stop. The sexual organ will be too deep for most probes. Not sure how true it is. I would honestly suggest sending this one to Brian at BHB. He will probably send you an answer and it would be a cool thing for snakebytes.

I agree rocks are just too solid, I've tried and tried and tried. But the experts say it just cannot be done.

Yes, African Rocks (only the scaley type) can be probed. I've had many large boids in the past including rocks, You have to know what your doing (or you can cause some major damage) but it can be done with the right probes.
I'm not sure I've ever heard that they cannot be probed, I wouldn't imagine Mr. Bob Clark stating that, so I can only asume there must have been a misunderstanding (it happens).
Hope this helps

Rusty see thats what i am thinking the person did not hear him correctly :gj:.I have 14yrs experiance with reptiles and know what i am doing when it comes to probing them.I guess my freind will never know if they have a male or female lol.

Well i recieved a response back to the email i sent to Bob Clark.His assistant said that he has probed numerous rock pythons and he has no idea what my friend thought they heard.So YES you can probe rock pythons :gj:
