    Just a general FYI. Dont boil rocks. They can have moisture inside that turns to steam when you boil them and it can cause them to explode, which could damage something or yourself.

    Hmmmm...interesting. I've boiled hundreds of rocks through the years for fish tanks and snake enclosures. Never heard of this happening, nor had it happen.
    I never bring it to a full boil though, jyst a steady, rolling boil. I wonder if that makes a difference??

    I have a large flat Rock I used when my big Burm had a hard time shedding in one piece. The problem is even when I F10 the Rock I could still smell urine on them.
