Water
I have seen people using regular tap water, dechlorinated water, water with reptisafe, and gallons of filtered water. What, if any, are the best options? So far I have been using reptisafe or prime to dechlorinate the water.

Re: Water
Fill an empty gallon jug with tap water, keep the lid off and let sit for a day all the chemicals will be gone.

just use clean water. dont add anything to it. if its good enough for human consumption, its good enough for your pets.
The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it. If you disagree, send me a PM.
The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

This works also if you trust that your water is clean!

Re: Water
OK! I do the same water process for my inverts. Also our water quality is pretty good! I'm familiar with the untreated perimeters from keeping some aquariums

Not everything will evaporate out of the water in 24 hours. Chlorine does, at least mostly, if the ratio of surface area to volume of water is big enough for the amount of chlorine that needs to come out. Chloramines do not. Chloramines are fatal to fish in large enough doses, and so if you keep aquarium fish it is important to know what is in your tap water. However, I am of the opinion based on lots of anecdotal evidence from myself and lots of others who use water straight out of the tap, that if it is safe for human consumption, it is good enough for the snakes, too. I think fish are more susceptible since they live in it, breathe it, etc, rather than just drinking it.
Filtered water is potentially dangerous as it removes good things as well as bad things from the water. Whether or not the snakes need those traces of calcium and other beneficial stuff that is in water is debatable, but since unfiltered tap water is apparently just fine, I see no reason to use anything else.

Not always true. Some cant have tap water because they are sensitive to the additives

What would one look out for to see if there is sensitivity?

Re: Water
I meant to say some animals. It more than likely is ok to give to your bp. I just prefer to use distilled so i know for sure its safe. I know i dont enjoy my tap water so i dont like giving it to my animals

I've been using store bought bottled gallons of spring water, I read somewhere that was the best option. Been using that for a year with no problems yet, only costs a dollar a bottle.
