I know that is a old and tired debate but not everyone uses racks to save money or space.

I could afford cages for each of my Ball Pythons. I have the wall space to stack those 5 cages. But after years and years of keeping Ball Pythons in both cages and racks (both set up correctly) I find that Ball Pythons do exceptionally well in correctly set up racks. I still enjoy a nice display cage and I do have one. They please me. If I wanted more of them, I would set up a different species in them, one that enjoys all that space far more. A snake that is out and about by nature.

I have no problem with people setting BP's up in cages. As long as the needs are met all is good, no matter how it's done. I have a problem with people saying that people that keep BP's in racks do it to save money and space to the detriment of their snakes. Some may, but there are bad keepers no matter the enclosures they use. I wouldn't keep many snake species in racks, but Ball Pythons absolutely so.

So to each their own. If using products like Repti safe makes people feel better or it actually makes their water safer, by all means...use it. I rather see people go all out to take good care of their animals than the other way around.

On the other hand, using tap water seems perfectly fine as well as long as it's safe for humans.

There is more then one way to do things right
