I used to live in the city, about 15 yrs. ago, and I would leave the water sit for 24 hrs, or more, to get the chlorine out. The city might put trace amts of other chems in the water, but it was the chlorine that gave us problems with our reptiles and amphibians.



Now I live way out in the country, on a 20 acre hobby farm. We have a well going down 130 ft. The water is pure, pure, pure! We have a filter on the system to catch any particulates that might be pumped up with the water, but we don't add any chemicals when filtering. I have raised hundreds of snakes on this water and our own mice. They all have thrived.



My point would be that this water doesn't pose any chemical threat to the snakes. It is also free from any bacterial problems. However, I don't speak for everyone, and agree you need to be aware of possible chemicals being added to your water, as stated above.
