Water!

Hey everyone, I'm new here and a bit paranoid. Is generic bottled Ozarka water fine for my little corn?

Thanks!

I give my snakes tap water even though some people say not to... I certainly wouldn't worry about it!

I also give mine just regular tap water, they are all doing just fine. I dont know for certain but I would assume that the brand of bottled water doesnt matter, your little guy should be fine

I too give mine tap water, it shouldn't be a big deal unless you don't drink your tap water either.

Mine have always had tap water, but it depends what your local water supply is like. If you trust it enough to drink it straight from the tap, it should be fine for the youngster.

I'm sure bottled spring water will be fine. I'd have a quick check of the label to make sure it hasn't been treated with anything, but I guess the lack of additives will be one of the selling points.

Not to mention bottled water is not FDA regulated so it can have just as bad or even worse bacteria in it that any tap water.

I use filtered tap water. It's worked just fine for me so far.

Ozarka is fine to give, but not necessary. Regular tap water is OK.

I usually use filtered water. Especially because I just moved back into the city- the tap water isn't very trustworthy here. :] But snakes are hardy, I've never heard of implications because of tap water.
