You can probably ditch the water as you can just buy bottled water for the animals and you wouldnt need reptisafe for it. Now as for purified water, i have been trying to research it as it got me interested not only with humans but with animals. From what I have gathered in my relatively short time of research, distilled water is not good for long term drinking. It will raise your bodies acidity. Purified water isnt the best either as generally has most or all of the trace elements removed from it. Spring water they say is probably the best as it has trace elements in it from the bedrock and stuff as it comes from underground springs. They purify it will UV to kill bacteria it can contain like giardia, ecoli and stuff. Also i have noticed purified water has a weird noticeable taste to it where as spring water doesnt have any taste.
I have decided to do a test and have bought my snakes bottled spring water and am going to try it for a year and see if i notice a difference. Sorry for going off topic but the thing just popped into my head when i saw purified water lol.
But anyways. best of luck and hope the fire avoids you. Fingers crossed man.
Also i would pack some tubs to act as caging for the snakes as well as a UTH and have either a cheapo t-stat packed or have an extra probe packed for your good t-stat in case you have to leave quick and can just grab the t-stat unit and the plug wire.
And dont forget the biggest essentials, a firearm or 6 and plenty of ammo as well as blankets.
