boiling water removes chlorine but also removes vital minerals that the snake will need. thats what iv read any way . i use bottled natural sprng water nd change it daily |

We put some "repti-safe" drops in his water to counteract the Chlorine. We change his "bowl" (which is a bath as well as drinking water) everyday and add a couple of these drops to make the water clean for him.
Chops loves fresh water and always drinks when we put him back in his home after handling him |

Bottled Eden Falls from Asda, darling! Only really because our water tastes vile to us so we figure it's stuffed full of 'healthy' chemicals. |
