    The commercially available shedding sprays are just water and a miniscule amount of other ingredients that are in such small quantities that they supposedly don't do anything. In short, misting with tap water does the same thing only saves you lots of money...been there, done that...

    De-ionized, De-mineralized water.
    From Culligan around this area. But, most grocery stores have the same stuff in a fill your own bottle station for about $2-$3 for 20 litres.
    This has no chlorine which is something i don't want my snakes ingesting or slithering through and doesn't leave mineral build up on the surfaces of the enclosure.
    In plastic tubs potable tap water is probably just fine.
