ReptiSafe or not??

I guess this is where I should post this... I thought about the General BP page but I think this would be better... Anyway, what do you guys use? If anything? Just a curiosity question... Thanks!!

IMO, Reptisafe is a waste of money. If you are worried about chemicals in water, then either let tap water sit over night in a jug before use or do like I do for my cresteds, use bottle water. I use to let water sit in a jug over night for my snakes, but now they get tap water and have for a few years now, they are doing just fine.

Yes I use bottled water for my cresties. I do it cause of our water here, which would leave water spots on my glass cages, for me it is more of a matter of convienence, no water spots on my glass cages, means less scrubbing for me later.

the only herps that i have that get dechlorinated water are my red eyed tree frogs, because they are sensitive to the chlorine since they absorb the water directly through their skin. i either dechlorinate their water or let it sit for at least 24 hours before spraying/filling water dishes. other than that, it's straight out of the tap with no problems. :)

I'm the 1 - yeah!

I got reptisafe in a bulk deal with wipe out and wipe out II at a pet store by my house so I use it because i already have it so why not?

We have incredibly hard water in my town, like 1000 ppm, would this affect my snake in any unhealthy way? I mean I drink the same water she does, but it really dries out my skin.

When I was in Biloxi MS, the tap water smelled like sulfur and tasted as bad. Got a Brita Water filter, and it took the odor and taste right out. Might want to consider that as a good filtration method.

I also got it in a pack when I first got my bp. Been using it ever since.
I continue to use it because I have no problems and everything is well w/ my bp so what the heck.

I use well water for all my pets. It goes through a softener/filter thing, and has no odor or bad taste; it leaves deposits on things, though. I haven't run across a problem thus far.

I remember living in Texas and having well water. I used to have to give my bunny bottled water for a while. -Sighs.- I miss him.

But the tap water here is just fine so I've never had a problem with the kids.

i used to use reptisafe but i found out that i didnt need it and the petstore just wanted more money so now i use the well water from our property.
