Beginner Ball Python Questions

2) My tap water has chlorine and I have to dechlorinate the water for my pet fish and was curious if it is safe to use fish dechlorinatior, or if I should buy reptile dechlorinator ?

I know that some people use repti-safe or reptile water conditioner, mine will only drink deer park water. He literally turns his nose up at any other brand of water - comes out of the hide and stares at it for long moments before slowly curling up as far from the dish as possible. With deer park he comes out immediately and takes long drinks at every water change

The ultimate example of a picky BP. Normally I would say this is a reason BP's aren't for beginners, but that would make me a hypocrite because Paarthurnax was my first and only snake. Think I got lucky with him not being too picky, but its definitely something you should watch out for! I've seen posts where a snake wouldn't eat because the color of the rodent offered was different than it was used to.

Yeah, I've heard they can be pretty picky. It is definitely worth it though!!
