Do you give your snakes tap water?
I have been removing the chlorine from the water before giving to all my snakes. Am I doing to much work or is it needed?

I used to purchase purified water and only give that to my animals. Then I heard from some huge breeders that tap water is safe as long as your water isn't contaminated or anything. So I have been using tap ever since.

I'm a tap-water only keeper too...I think it would make the most difference for tiny snakes, newly hatched or neonates, anyway.

Tap water for the critters. The chlorine offgasses fairly quickly anyway.
The fish get filtered unchlorinated water.

I would use plain tap water, but my local water plants uses chloramine instead of chlorine. Chloramine takes weeks to evaporate, if it does at all. I use ReptiSafe, which removes both chlorine and chloramine. It's possibly overkill, and chloramine may do nothing to reptiles, but I'd rather not take my chances. Before that I used bottled water, which I buy anyways for myself.
Plus by itself the tap water tastes nasty. Don't know if ReptiSafe makes it taste any better, haven't exactly tried it lmao.

if it is safe for you to drink, it is safe for the snakes.
the only water to avoid is distilled water, which has the minerals stripped from it.

At my old place I used tap water that I ran through a britta filter pitcher (same as I drank) and here at the new place, I use the filtered water from the fridge.
Tap water should be fine as it is.
I use distilled water when misting and in my humidifiers to avoid the buildup.
if you are still worried about chlorine, just let the water sit out for 24 hrs and it'll offgas.
