    No wonder Africa is such a poor continent.

    Hard water is probably much better for your snake than soft water as the softening process replaces the mineral content (notibly calcium) with sodium ions. Probably not a good thing.

    Over the past 25 years I've lived in many different places and given my snakes hard water, soft water, florinated water, well water, bottled water, blah blah blah ... doesn't matter.

    I like to give mine Welch's Grape soda. They seem to like it.

    Seriously, tap water is fine..Just no toilet water.
