Tap VS Bottled Water?

What's your personal preference and why? How many snakes do you have to water? :D
Personally, I use both. I'll use a bottle of water sometimes if I'm too lazy to walk to the kitchen to fill the bowl.
Is one or the other better for the snake? I don't think they need fluoride like we do.

Depends where you live. If the water is good for you to drink, it's good for your animals too. Don't over think it. ;)

Yeah where I live we have some of the cleanest sink water in the world :P Tastes better than bottled, imho.

I drink my tap water so I give it to my snakes...

Everyone here drinks the same water, human, dogs, snakes, rats, mice etc.

As for are many do I water? Anywhere between 55 to 200 snakes depending on the time of the year.

You can always age your water for 24 hours or filter it using a Brita filter.

here we don't drink tap water...EVER :oops:
so i give bottles to my bp.

I do not use bottled water for anything so I wouldn't think about using it for my snakes. That may be due to the fact that Denver has some of the cleanest water in the country.

45 % of bottled water comes straight from the tap.

To the cautious ones, do you know where you water brand came from?

I am fortunate to live in area that has good and good tasting water. All of my pets drink what I do.

Where are you?

If I ever come to your area to visit I wish to come prepared. :)

I dont think what comes out the faucet is worse than what ball pythons would normally drink in the wild.

I'm a chemist and I don't trust tap water one bit, there's a lot of people that drink nasty poison tap water and don't even know it. When I was in Korea at one point the water came out of the faucets in the sink as black as tar, and a few hours drive down south at my mother in laws she lives on the end of the line from the water company and it gets so bad that if I drink it I get sick every time, they will even give them free water to flush out the lines. Water from the tap can change over night even if you tested it for everything. I only drink bottled water that has been distilled with added minerals so I know for sure it's pure balanced water. However, I have so many animals I probably feed them over 100 gallons of water per day, there's no way I could feed them all bottled water LOL. My nine cows drink the most. And my snakes and rats get tap water LOL.

Tap water same as I drink, it's fantastic here.

I use tap, though sometimes I'll fill a bottle from the tap and take it with me to fill the bowls. That still counts as tap though ^_^

When I had well water I would buy water for my animals but now that I have city water they get tap

I age my tap water. My water has higher amounts of chlorine in it and it is like drinking out of a pool and can burn your eyes in the shower. I can't in good conscience give it to any animal straight out of the tap
