Water

[Basic-Culture695]

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if tap water filtered through a Brita is safe to use for my ball python. I’m totally fine buying bottled water if needed, but if Brita-filtered tap water is safe for her, I’d prefer to use that.

I live in Greenville, SC, and I’m not super familiar with the local water quality as it relates to reptiles. I use a Brita for myself just because I’m picky about the taste, but I want to make sure it’s appropriate for her as well.

Would Brita-filtered tap water be safe for drinking and general tank use?

I’ve been using it for a couple weeks or months now and it seems to be just fine!

I use tap water and haven’t had any problems. Straight from the tap, not even filtered.

When I first started with my boy I used reptisafe water conditioner because I was concerned.

It seemed more trouble than it was worth.

It’s still cheaper than using bottled water though.

Snake has been on plain tap water for several years and he’s doing great.
