Fish dechlorinator for blue tongue

[herperjosh]

Can i use the aqua one stress coat dechlorinator to get rid of the chlorine in our tap water for my bluey

chlorine evaporates out of water within a relatively quick period. I believe its like 12-24 hrs. If you are really worried about it, then just fill a cup/pitcher up each day and fill bowl with the water the next day.

Thanks but there are other things in the water i need to get rid of aswell ad i lin of need it now lol

IMO, I would not use that type of dechlorinator. They have specific ones for reptiles. If you need it in now, a short period of time with regular tap water will not hurt your skink. This will buy you time to get the correct type for reptiles.

However, Instead of chemicals to remove whatever you want to remove, Id recommend just purchasing distilled or RO water to use for your skink. In all honesty, Id just use the tap water

Fish stress coat has other things in it besides dechlorinator, thats why its called stress coat- It replaces the slime coating on the fish's scales. Probably not good stuff for a reptile to be ingesting. Get a Brita water filter and enjoy some filtered water for yourself as well as the reptiles! (thats my method) Or, as Brad suggested, get a reptile-specific water dechlorinator.

I buy jugs of drinking-water for like 80 cents a gallon at Walmart. But we have used a product by ZooMed called Reptisafe. I don't remember how much we paid for it, but the little bottle should last for years and years. For just drinking you only add like a drop.
