Re: Chlorine or Sodium Bicarbonate?
Hello Breezie,
That is one very special boa...I think I would love to get a couple of his babies someday if you ever do breed him.
That being said...I think the Chlorine in the tap water is actually good...I do not know about the AZ concentrations they add but here in NYS it is very safe and I would say beneficial. It can help to cut down on the bacteria that builds up in the boas environment and also in their internal systems. I would also stay away from distilled or purified water. When water is put through a system to remove the minerals, the normal properties of water become changed and it acts like a magnet for minerals in our bodies and also our animals bodies. So it actually can depleat the minerals in your snakes body and weaken his health, by bonding to the minerals and removing those minerals from the snakes body.
I hope this helps.
Andy
