Tame Afrocks
I have a pair of tame Afrocks, and my friend has a female that is tamer than any burm or ball you could ever find. As a matter of fact we had her out last night while in shed and no problems. She is well over 110 pounds too, a giant and so nice. I have never ever been bitten by a rock, but I have by balls, burms, kingsnakes ect. I have handled babies, sub adults and adults. The problem is everyone would rather save a few bucks and buy CH or wild caught as opposed to CBB. Thats why people have such a negative view of them. Retics get the same bad rap, another species I have never been bitten by and have handled many, and owned 3. Not to mention I see the comment that you have never seen a tame rock!!!! Here are three different ones(hopefully the photos attach) The 2nd one is my female shortly after I got her(she is about 8 inches longer now), the 3Rd is my male who has since this photo gotten a little bigger but not much, and the first is my friends female from about 2.5 years ago, she has since gained about 35 pounds or more, she was 90 lbs in the pic. When I used to work at a place where the big female came from I used to let her out with me while I was working and she would go off and do her own thing and then come back and hang out, she is so tame you have to remember you are working with something that could kill you, she doesnt have a mean bone in her body.
