    I can't say I've ever seen anywhere, even from poor sources, that you should used distilled water... many better sources actively discourage distilled water.

    Here is one source regarding it, it discusses fish/amphibians, but it true of snakes and lizards too.

    Are you maybe thinking of dechlorinated water and got the wrong kind? That is something I see recommended a lot and is mostly important if you live in a city that uses high amounts of chlorine to treat tap water. But this is not the same as distilled water at all.

    If you don't know you city water treatment, you can look it up, or use a product like ReptiSafe *I think that is the one* that is marketed to make tap water safe for reptiles. As far as I've seen it is mostly a dechlorinator, but since I don't use it, I am not 100% sure. My city tap water is fine, so I just use that.
