I feel stupid asking this...

Postby bella3 » Fri Feb 17, 2012 12:40 pm

Okay, to everyone who owns bts out there, I probably look dumb, but I'm a beginner, and am going to be purchasing a bts this summer.
Do blue tongue skinks need a particular type of water, like purified, or distiller?
Thank you for your help!

Like Sapphire said, it isn't a stupid question. :D It comes up from time to time.

I use a brita filter for our water, just to filter out the chlorine etc. The only people that I know of using bottled water for fish / amphibians or if they have really bad well water or similar. The chlorine in tap water isn't great for reptiles, so we just use brita but you can also leave the water out over night before you put it in their dish.

I don't de-chlorinate Tea Cup's water, and she's fine.

Basically, the rule I go by is "Would YOU drink it?" :D

I use Brita filered water for all our animals, but I drink the water straight from the tap until I can taste chlorine. :noknow:
