Water

All water given to reptiles for drinking, as well as water used for misting, soaking or bathing must be free of chlorine and heavy metals.  We recommend that you use bottled drinking water or bottled natural spring water and never untreated tap water. If tap water is used, you should treat it with a dechlorinating treatment or allow it to stand for  at least 24 hours before being introduced to the pet's enclosure to allow the chlorine to escape. Do not use distilled water, which can cause severe medical problems, since it lacks minerals that are essential to important body functions.

Clean fresh water must always be available to reptiles.  Many reptiles will not drink from a bowl (though one should be provided for soaking and humidity in almost every case).  Reptiles that do not accept water from a bowl will typically drink droplets from leaves and rocks. So misting with chlorine-free water is essential. Always be aware of the humidity levels required by a pet reptile.
