    Re: is tap water ok for your snakes?

    Generally though, I DO think that if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for your snakes, though I agree that that's not ALWAYS the case.
    Thanks for the clarification Mark. My main goal in my statement, was to state that I thought his statement was too definitve. Thank you also for including the corrective treatment for too much chlorine, I should have included that as well. If you have any doubt, just let the water sit for a few days, as Mark stated.
