I live in an area with very hard water, so I've been misting my geckos with distilled water to prevent mineral spots on the glass. However recently I learned that it's bad for animals to drink distilled/deionized water because it dehydrates them and saps them of electrolytes.
I know that lots of people use some kind of filtered water to mist their geckos without clouding up the glass, but I'm a tap water kind of gal, and I don't really know the difference between types of bottled water. Should I switch to filtered/spring water, or will my geckos somehow be okay with distilled?
I'm not sure exactly where this fits, so forgive me if I posted in the wrong area.
