    Question Water Bowl

    Is normal tap water OK for my BP's water dish or is some sort of water treatment required?

    I use just plain tap water! The water in the Hammer is just fine!

    Tap water is just fine, I've always used tap and most likely always will.

    I de-chloronize but that could be cause I'm paranoid; or cause the water here is god awful.

    The Chlorine (which is very low, and wont harm even aquatic animals) evaporates overnight...

    So tap water is super safe for your snake...unless you live in Mexico...

    Re: Water Bowl

    Hmm I guess I could use tap water, I've always used spring water.. kind of a carry over from having frogs at one time.

    Stupidest thing I bought was the water treatment from Petco. Tap water works just fine, and if youre providing bottle water...well...someone's living in the lap of luxury ehh?

    All my animals are given normal water from the tap.
