No.
After the live plants in my python's cage kept dying (of course largly due to the python that crawls over them), my grandmother suggested rain water, due to the absence of treatment chemicals that "clog up the roots".
It works better, the plants don't grow but stay alive.
I have extra out in the garage, and it beats using the sink to get tap water, plus its free, though it may or may not be good for rats.
I'm not into giving my rats a hard time, but they are rats, and live at dumps, where the cleanest water they could ever hope to get would be rain water.
I even drink it myself when I am around it and it strikes my fancy.
On another note, how many bins do you supply with your auto-watering system? How often do you clean or purge the system?
Later
Jon
