Questions on water.

We have flouride in the water here in the UK and all my corns have nice shiny teeth and never need to see a dentist.

(I'm kidding, I'm kidding...)

Tap water's fine.

I've just been using it fresh and not letting it sit, since I had a ball python die from blister disease a few years ago I've been really careful to keep my soaking bowls and substrate scrupulously clean. Even bought a bottle of F10

Thank you so much, I will definitely be looking into it.

I use one of the pitcher filters for my snakes water. The water here though is iffy even for me to drink. If I brew a pot of coffee with it I swear it looks like the Exon Valdese sank in my coffee pot. There are some conflicting opinions concerning the effect of chlorine on snakes. Personally I do just because it makes me feel better.

I researched and researched a bunch about snakes before getting Olaf (adult corn) and I only now came across this water issue. Please help, thank you.

There is a viking on LoL named Olaf, one of my best played, too. But I named him after the Scandinavian King of Norway. :P
