you will get a mixed response about this.
i use water straught out of the tap.
some people use bottled
some use tap water and let it stand for a day or so. |

Most people on the forum use tap water.
Definantly DONT use de-chlorinator, it is poisonous to drink. |

cheers guys got him last night just used tap water ive been told he's just about to start shredding and to leave him alone
is it normal for him to sit on the heat mat all night? its on the inside of the tank currently so i need to cover it with some sort of ceramic tile |

| It is normal for them to do that, you'll probably barely see him for a few days until he settles in. |

ok he is about a year old and was delivered to me in his vivarium so he know his surroundings
also when i got it the thermostat probe was stuck at the unheated end so i moved it to just above the heat mat, is this correct?
they where just using a light a heat but ive desided to use the heat mat they gave me as its probally cheaper on electric and safer for the snake |
