Tap or Dechlorinated water

[YungRasputin]

Interesting. I’ve been avoiding distilled water just because there is no signs of minerals and nutrients. But up to this point she’s been getting high quality bottled water. I just started her on the treated water, I haven’t heard anyone say no to it but it makes sense to neutralize the water from the chemical elements that our tap have water has.

And I have not heard of anyone using Pedialyte unless it’s a medical/shed issue that needs to be used

i have been putting a little pedialyte into their soaking bowls just in case they’ve been drinking from this - i plan to switch to spring water for that here soon tho - i also see it being the same as you or i having a Gatorade - it’s good for us once in awhile (also good for medical reasons too)

as Bogs mentioned the big reason i use distilled water for misting is it eliminates the hard water spots that accumulate over time which can’t be removed with simple cleaning - it can be removed, it’s just a tremendous pain tbh and i have a lot of jungle species (Burms, red tail, etc) which need an elevated humidity range and thus a lot of misting and so on

but what i have also noticed is that my Burms, coastals, etc will drink the droplets that remain on the sides of the enclosure so i wanted something real pure and uncontaminated for that reason too
