Water

Do ball pythons need soft water or will tap work for them? Same goes for giving them a warm bath and all that.

Tap water is just fine. Unless maybe you have really really hard water. Even then I don't really think its an issue. I just use regular city tap water.

I use regular tap water as well.

Tap but I let it sit for 24 hours.
Mostly for my bugs, frogs, toads, plants etc.
The snakes get the same treatment because I'm just in the habit.

I have a filter installed on mine that i robbed off my fridge when i made an incubator out of it but it is just tap water

curiosity....why? what purpose does letting it sit for 24 hrs serve?

Allowed chlorine to evaporate out of the water. Does it really work? I don't know.

But for my bugs, frogs and those types. It also allows for the water to become room temps. So I'm not worried about temps when I spray them down.

Chlorine evaporates from tap water within 15 minutes.

I personally used to filter my water, but now I just Tap it.
But snakes get all of their liquids from their food anyway. Providing a water dish is more of keeper thing.

Tap is perfectly fine.
