That's a shame. We can only really speculate about what exactly is in the bottle under the circumstances...never mind the issue of possible expiry. I would advise throwing it out.

As long as your purified water still contains all the minerals it should be fine. They do need those minerals... normal drinking water will not harm your snake, it's far easier and contains everything he needs.

For those that this may apply to (fish and amphibian keepers); depending on the area in which you live and how water is treated, leaving tap water out over night may do little or nothing to remove chlorine, as most water treatment facilities (at least in North America) have switched from using chlorine to using chloramine, which does not evaporate from water, however dechlorination drops still work.
Well, you should check the label to be sure. In the past, some declorinators didn't treat Chloramine. ( BTW: Chloramine is chlorine and ammonia).... And yes....it doesn't evaporate.
