Water

[Crested_Lover]

I have heard different opinions on whether or not to use a declorinater on crested geckos misting and drinking water. Do you guys use it or not? If you do what brand is the best?;-)

How about using a water filtration system such as Brita for your faucet instead?

I really wish I could, but I have a 40 gallon goldfish tank and I have to be careful about what goes in to the water. That would be great if I could though.

how do you clean the water for your fish tank? just a dechlorinator?

I have really crappy water. a few weeks after I moved into my house I lost 3 geckos and then had the water tested. I can't afford to replace all the pipes, so I pitcher-filter the geckos' water and then add a drop of reptisafe too. it doesn't hurt them, but like anything, make sure you follow the directions and don't overdo it.

I, too, have very crappy water where I live, and I buy those large jugs for a water cooler (of RO water) for my reptiles.

In the event I have to use tap water, I also use Reptisafe.

I use seachem prime for my goldfish, and I will have to use tap water so should I get reptisafe? Is that by Tetra?

this guy is the one you want. it's available pretty much anywhere you can get any sort of reptile supplies.

I use distilled water in my tanks.

I was wondering if it is OK to mist my Leopard Gecko from time to time................he seems to like it. I'm not sure if it is a he or she yet (thats another post) I will try to check again in a few days

Mr Ed, if you post this in the Leopard gecko subforum you might get more relevant responses. or better yet, search "misting leopard" because I think this is a question that crops up fairly often, and that way you can get a variety of responses.
