    Water question....

    I have searched for information on water. I have read and watched videos about needing to add a treatment to my BP's water that he has in his drinking bowl. We have well water. It obviously is NOT chlorinated, etc. Some posts say if I would drink it, it's fine for him. Advice on this topic? Our fridge does have a filter on it, but that water is super cold when it comes out and frankly most of the time we still use water from the faucet 99% of the time.

    So long as your well water is free of toxins and parasites and is safe for human consumption, it is safe for your snake.

    Dear goodness I PRAY it's free of parasites....if it's not we are all infected! Now I feel all creepy crawly...lol

    Thanks for the help! I really do think our well water is 100% safe for us (humans) and animals. It's a deep well that taps into an underground spring. We don't have close neighbors (so no chemicals should be leaching in).
