ReptiSafe or not??

i know there r tons of things that u can do to make ur snakes home perfect and have them feel great but i think giving them bottled water or ReptiSafe is going a little too far ...just IMO

I just use tapwater; it's actually spring water.. or if you will, an odorless, clear version of well water :) No chlorine; I probably have a nice bio-load of parasites in me tummy! (just kidding; we get it tested.)

I started out using reptisafe, but i prefer to buy bottled water for naga, I dont care for the taste of the water here so I dont think i should give somthing to my snake that i wont even drink!

right now i am using bottled watter because the water smell literally like poo. if i am not going to drink it i wont give to anything.

I've used tap water and filtered with no observed difference in health or activity. The water in our little city isn't all that good to me to drink after growing up on a farm with well water (the best!) I have been using one of those tap filter attachments for years I think its just one of those pur units and I pickup filters or whole new units for cheap whenver walmart does a clearence on them.

My real reason is that the water leaves hard water lines in the dishes...yes even with regular washing. I moved to the pvc and deli cup method now and still use the filter, it keeps them looking clean a bit longer. Once they start showing the hard water lines I will recycle those delic cups and start using fresh ones. I also use the filtered water in our spay bottles for the snakes and other house plants again to try and keep hard water spots from forming.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that while at first I thought bottled water was a fad and a little weird (farm/woods boy growing up remember) I know drink bottled water myself. Its cheap stuff from walmart again but I drink quite a bit of water durring the day and the bottled doesn't have all the yuckies of our home tap water.

Tap water for my guys, I do let it sit in a open gallon jug for a couple of days first so the chlorine and chemicals escape.

Old thread... :P

Our house had a filtered side on the sink, so I use that.

The water in my house comes from a shallow well, so it is not suitable for consumption by anything. I either buy 2.5 gallon jugs of spring water with the nozzle on it, or I get tap water from someone else's house.

The water they drink in the wild can't be better than our tap so tap water she gets! LOL
