Tap Water V Spring water.

I know there are a lot of posts similar to this but I still cant find the answer. If you boil water before you give it to your snake is that removing the chlorene?
If it is then could I not just give the snakes Natural Spring water.(It sais "Bottled at source" on the label if that helps)



Thanks a lot.
Matthew:)

If your tap water is safe for human consumption then your snake can drink it.

My water here is always being weird, so I use ReptiSafe just to be sure :)

Most "spring" water is just bottled tap water

Either use reptisafe to remove chlorine or let it sit for a day and the chlorine will "burn" off

Anymore, some places use chloramine instead of chlorine, and that won't go away for weeks at a time. I personally use bottle water for this reason, since my town does use chloramine in its water treatment facilities.

Reptisafe always seems like such a waste/con to me. Just let water sit for 24 hours to evaporate chlorine.
My tap water is so-so, I use Brita filter for both myself and my animals.

While being inconvenient in some aspects (internet speed is a big one), living in the country does have some advantages......one of which, is fresh well water from the second aquifer pumped straight into my faucet from 600ft down :D Untouched by man :gj:

It's like my snakes have an unlimited supply of Fiji water lol

Chloramine won't evaporate overnight, or even anytime soon, like Starscream said.

I know that because I have and love air plants and chlorinated water is really bad for them. I used to let my water "sit" over night, but I'm currently trying to find out wehther our waterplant uses chloramine or not.

Most reptile keeper use tap water (even chlorinated) and the animals seem fine, but for someone that worries about that, filters or bottled water it should be ;)

Interesting...

also important if keeping fish, or air plants.
