    I import my water from a secret spring in France where it's both blessed by a priest and ritually purified by a Pagan high priestess (Just to cover my bases). It's then shipped to me in special bottles that block all light. It's not cheap or easy, but my snakes are worth the extra effort.

    Of course when I can't get my hands on the secret double blessed French water, I just buy whatever's on sale at Sam's...

    Re: Tap water or purified water?

    I use the water out of the fridge. I fill my water bottles every night and use them to mist and fill bowels the next evening. Then start over again this give a chance for and chlorine to evaporate out of the water

    Tap Water for everyone, except the saltwater tank that gets distilled or RO.

    Tap water. There's no evidence it's any worse for reptiles than it is for us. They are not amphibians.

    Ugh the tap water in Phoenix is disgusting, I won't drink it period, I'd really rather not even cook with it. I can't really afford to buy bottled water for everything though so for the snakes I use a dechlorinator, which seems to work fine. I really want to eventually get a sink filter but I haven't yet.
