Heck why not just use Evian, or say Perierre water.. You could leave it in a crystal glass next to their solar powered, oxygen tank enriched, gold & diamond endowed hide box

LMAO! You say it Unkie!!

LOL Roy that one is good i think the tread is close now.

Tap is fine for reptiles but if you're misting glass enclosures you probably want to use distilled to avoid mineral buildup on your glass.

good point on the glass rwg, but I still think they should provide normal ionized water if it is for ingestion and hydration

deionized water doesn't do much for physiological hydration, but I guess it would help for physical hydration

Stockwell, quit mocking my snakes digs! He likes his jewel encrusted enclosure! LOL!

So since my water is only filter purified and not distilled, its not AS bad?

Besides, I mostly survive on diet coke and cancer sticks, so i think my water is hardly the issue, at least where my own health is concerned.

and you know what they say about Evian.... if you spell it backwards.... gotta love those hidden messages in your bottled water
