do i have to dechlorinate my gecko water??

you only have to dechlorinate it if you use tap water. Spring water and bottled water is fine.

I've never heard that in the year and a half I've had my leo's... I have read every article, care sheet and book about leo's I've been able to find in addition to regularly perusing this site...

I only use tap water for my leo's .. .should I change to bottled water?

Is the chlorine level in tap water high enough to really cause a potential hazard?

I'm no gecko expert, but I dechlorinate water for everything non-human. Chlorine levels vary from city to city, but imo, it's better not to take any risks.

Chlorine is easy to remove all you have to do is leave it in a bottle with the top open for 24 hours, it is the chloramines that you need to be careful of. In my area the water people use a lot of both.
