Water with minerals
So I just bought some water from costco and I didn't notice it until I got home but it says it's purified water with minerals added for taste. My question is it ok for snakes? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: Water with minerals
Sodium bicarbonate is salt which can't be that good for it.

Re: Water with minerals
Most of those are salts (sodium chloride is table salt, sodium bicarbonate is baking soda, etc), but in trace amounts, so its fine for your snake. Purified (boiled) water tastes funny as the normal salts and minerals present in ground water dont evaporate during the purification process. Either is fine for your snake though.

Re: Water with minerals
Table salt is NaCl which is sodium chloride. One sodium atom with one chloride atom.

Re: Water with minerals
Just fresh plain tap water is fine. No added minerals needed.

Re: Water with minerals
I don't like to use tap because out water isn't the cleanest. So this water will be fine?

You do know what they drink in the wild, right? Your "bad" tap water is 1,000,000 x better than most third world countries water. It's most certainly better than anything they drink in the wild....

Re: Water with minerals
Yes, I know but since these don't live in the wild and in my room as my pets, I like to give them the good stuff
