Distilled or Regular?

When i first starting researching keeping a bp I thought I read a couple places that it is best to use distilled water in the bowls.........my question is if this is true?

I have since seen multiple videos of cleaning racks etc etc where the breeder is using water straight from the sink to clean and for the dish. Using distilled was not a problem early on but now that there are 6 in the family if it is not necessary to use distilled then of course I wouldn/t mess with it.

As always sorry for the noob questions :) and I appreciate any response I get. Have a great day!

i have never used distilled water for my snakes.

My bathroom door is within five feet of my rack, so I just walk right in, do my cleaning, refill water bowls, etc, right in my sink or shower.

I've never had a problem with using tap water, though I do have to get rid of water dishes every once in a while because of mineral buildup.

Most state water filtration plants do a great job of filtering their tap water. Here in NY they've even sold it! Its called NYCTap, can you believe it? Sheesh!

Anyway tap water is absolutely fine.

Straight up tap water here... my first BP I used bottled (for exactly two bottles).

Distilled is stripped of everything, including nutrients.....so tap all the way.

I use tap water.

I use my Pur water filter.
Im not sure if it makes a difference but there is less of a mineral build up on my bowls.

I have a well so I prefer to use bottled water being that my well water typically has a small amount of orange minerals even with an inline water filter installed, If I had the option of city tap water I would have no probs using it . I read a study on the difference between bottled water and tap water and there were no noticiable differences between the two. Even Aquafina is refined detroit tap water.

I've always used tap water.
