    Water

    Do ball pythons need soft water or will tap work for them? Same goes for giving them a warm bath and all that.

    Tap water is just fine. Unless maybe you have really really hard water. Even then I don't really think its an issue. I just use regular city tap water.

    Water

    Tap but I let it sit for 24 hours.
    Mostly for my bugs, frogs, toads, plants etc.
    The snakes get the same treatment because I'm just in the habit.

    Water

    Allowed chlorine to evaporate out of the water. Does it really work? I don't know.

    But for my bugs, frogs and those types. It also allows for the water to become room temps. So I'm not worried about temps when I spray them down.

    Re: Water

    Chlorine evaporates from tap water within 15 minutes.

    I personally used to filter my water, but now I just Tap it.
    But snakes get all of their liquids from their food anyway. Providing a water dish is more of keeper thing.
