    I'm not trying to argue either, but I want to make sure the right information gets put out there.

    His tap water may be a higher pH, I know mine is, but I wouldn't worry about the pH as much as what is in the water, like the excess metals (yuck!) ... thus my recommendation of cheap purified water from walmart, someone told me it was only 40 cents a gallon. Not sure on that price but it works.

    Says, specifically:

    The first instant terrarium water conditioner. Great for reptile water bowls, chameleon drip water systems, amphibian enclosures, and aquatic turtle tanks.

    I do not think I would let my snakes drink it.

    I have aquifer well water but if I didn't, I'd buy them bottled spring water.

    At my local Wal*Mart, it's .88 a gallon.
    I use it to top off my 40 gallon aquarium now and then so that I have spare empty bottles for carrying my tap water from the kitchen, later.
