Bottled water
I noticed the new poll was about treating water. You dont need to treat bottled water right? Silly question with an obvious answer I'll bet, but I just wanted to make sure...

1.0.0 Ball Python - Sharky
0.1.0 Flap Neck Chameleon - Sheila

RIP Steve Irwin

To tell you the truth unless you have some very bad water come out of your faucet.I have never known anyone to have any problems using tap water for there snakes to drink.Next time you go buy the bottled water keep track on how much money you spend in a month.If it adds up to a large amount of money per month,start saving it to spend on more snakes instead of bottled water .Of course its your choice,i am just being goofy

Re: Bottled water
Tap water is cheaper and more envirnomentally friendly.
Bottled water isnt nearly as safe as it is made out to be. In fact, muncipal tap water is usually much safer because it faces much tougher standards and quality control tests. Well water now that might be a different story.
A teacher I work with uses the following case study in an environmental studies class at our school.
http://www.sciencecases.org/bottled_...tled_water.asp
http://www.sciencecases.org/bottled_...led_water2.asp (Part II)
Part II is filled with facts.
Now I'm not saying dont drink bottled water.......Relatively speaking it probably is much healthier for you than say drinking a bottle of coke. And it is often convienent for car trips.
And for a snake I always use tap water.
