Quick snake question

[davo]

for water... out the tap, or bottled mineral water? what you use?
cheers

 

[Z Trip]

When I owned water snakes, I always use regular tap water. And I never had any problems with it or it affecting my snakes. Hope this helps.

 

[davo]

yea cheers it does. is there anything bad about using either of the two?

 

[Deathcurl]

I kept and bred snakes for a long while. I guess it would depend on your local water supply, but I used tap for the whole time with no ill effects.

Beware of stream and pond water, basically any water that wild reptiles could be in

I use tap water on mine but do know people that let it stand for 24hrs and then use it.

tap ist as good for them .they will live a shorter life because the constant chlorine poisoning.if you put a little salt in the water befor you give it to them,it will neutralize the chlorine.treat the water in a 10 gallontank and then give it to them.

10 gallons=1 tablespoon of salt

i give my animals purified water,so whatever you want to do is your decision

Or just let it sit for a day, the chlorine evaporates quickly

 

[davo]

ok, it was the chlorine that worried me. its ok for my fish, but ill still let it sit

tap water wont harm you reptiles

if its safe to drink by human standard its ok for your herps.

think drinking fountains in the park for small kids. if its ok for them .....you get the idea.

most of us here dont because we dont like the taste

i drink it though
