Tap Water V Spring water.

Reptisafe works regardless of whether people think it is a gimmick or not. It is no different than similar products used in the aquarium hobby. It breaks the chemical bond between ammonia and chlorine (what makes up chloramine) thus effectively removing it and breaking down ammonia. If you are worried about chloramines then use reptisafe.

Agreed, I use Reptisafe as well and like the fact it also adds electrolytes.

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

but i wouldn't mind some high quality water, so if u can bottle that right up and ship it over here!

:)

I use the "let stand for 24 hours" method. After just a couple hours, I can see bubbles collecting at the side of the jug, and when I tap the jug they float to the top where they presumably join the air. My plants seem to be fine with this, and plants tend to brown at the tips when there's chlorine in the water, so it seems to work. I will definitely be looking into our local water plant though to see if they use chloramine, since I haven't heard of that before. I may also look into a water filter for him now.

I personally believe stuff like Reptisafe and Reptished etc are just gimmicky. If your water is safe for you to drink, the snake will be fine with it. The same goes for shedding. If you have the husbandry right, the snake will shed fine. They dont carry around Reptisafe, water purification tablets or reptished on them in the wild and they have been getting along fine for millions of years.

If you want to buy that stuff, by all means go for it but for me, i can find better more 'beneficial' stuff to buy my reptiles.

I've never used Reptisafe (or shed) but in all fairness...in the wild they don't encounter chlorinated water :D or fluoride added, lead, etc ;)

Lol, that's like saying "snakes carry a parasite load in the wild so we should expose them to parasites in captivity because it's natural." The parameters in captivity are different to the wild so our care should be adjusted accordingly.

Snakes in captivity are unable to experience a natural balance with parasites and would quickly become overwhelmed by them. In the same breath, wild snakes don't drink chlorinated water from taps.
