Coral Rock

I just inherited a fist-sized coral rock ( dead obviously) from a friend at work who had previously used it with her frogs. I was wondering if it was usuable in a snake's enclosure or if it would be too rough? Opinions and experiences with the subject are welcome.

As for the cleaning process of the rock - so far it has soaked in boiling water with some bleach for about an hour and is now drying. Should I proceed to cooking it in the oven or should it be fine?
 
I've used dead rock in my fish tanks with just a quick boiling first, so I would imagine it would be fine. I'd let it air dry a few days to make sure the chlorine has dissipated.

As for your other question, it *seems* like it would be awfully rough for a snake, but I wouldn't know. Let's see what the experts say.
 
Here's a picture - couldn't take any close-ups, using the cheap camera. I think it would be nie with some fake plants in the middle and wrapped around it but the texture is still bugging me.

When I worked at petco I used to scrap my hand up against those rocks while scrubbing the tanks. I would think they would be too rough.
