Strait from the tap! The only thing that sucks about it is that it leaves water spots all over the cages. Nothing a razor blade cant take off lol!

Tile is great, if your lizards are indigenous to your bathroom

I use RO water on all of my animals. But distilled works well also. Just make sure that you're using proper supplementation when feeding.

With most lizard and geckos tap water works fine. I personally wouldnt invest in a RO system for lizards. If you have frogs or amphibians RO water is very necessary. Like Ethan said if you do use RO water make sure you are supplementing properly.

I use tap water as well for my geckos, seems to work fine. The water spots are annoying, but when I clean the cages out and take them out, I clean the walls off with white vinegar. Takes the spots right off.
