yes sorry to treat water from the sink or just used bottle water

Nothing here gets filtered water. Don't know that I'd keep an animal that did need it. I think it's going overboard. The only upside I can see is having less water spots on glass/acrylic if you mist. Since I don't mind water spots, and I try to keep cost down, no filtered water.

On my big snakes straight out of the hose.

On my smaller snakes I use our water cooler.

It's 30-40 gallons vs 1-1.5 gallons so obviously I'm not gonna waste filtered money on the big snakes when in all reality they don't need filtered or treated.

They are snakes and not fish after all. They drink it not breathe it.

+1. As a fishkeeper I was paranoid about this when I first got mine, but they get urban tap water and do fine.

I just take the water from my refrigerator dispenser (which has its own filter) I use it on my animals just because I only have a few, it's just as easy and in my mind I feel like I'm giving them something special but I don't think it really matters IMO.

All of our animals get filtered water, but our tap water is horrid and hard as a rock even with a softener. It's also city water, go figure.

Tap or hose water has been fine for all of mine for years
