I use tap water for all my reptiles and rodents, but I store the water in 6 litre plastic bottles for at least 24 hours before using it. This allows for the chlorine to 'gas off' before being used. I have been doing this for all my birds, animals and reptiles for the last 50 years and have had no problems what-so-ever. Eric Davies

I use the Reptisafe. Never smelled anything out of it. The bottle just seems to get crusty. Just got a curiosity bug and decided to ee what others do for their snakes

Just tap water, however, my tap water is pretty clean.

I wonder if the fluoride makes their teeth stronger...hmmm

I use water that goes through a little filter. I should let it sit, but I"m not that organized.

It's not how many snakes you have. It's how happy and healthy you can keep them.
