Snakes shouldn't be given distilled water since the decreased pH of the water will result in minerals being removed from the animal's bones to achieve a physiological buffering.

Humans constantly are drinking and eating and supplying minerals to their system, although they'd be better off with spring water or even purified non chlorinated tap water.
