Do you need to treat water?

[ALD]

I'm getting my first T soon. A GBB, and I was wondering if you need to treat their water? I have used Reptisafe for my Hermit Crabs for over a decade. It says on the bottle it can be used for Tarantulas but I don't think I've seen anyone talk about this online. Not that I have come across yet anyway. Do you use a product like that or do you give them water straight from tap? Or bottled water? Thanks.

Straight from tap ALL DAY, EVERYDAY BRO! *Throws up gang signs*

Nah in all seriousness. Tap water is fine, never had an issue. Buying some specialised baptised water seems like a way to cut through your wallet faster. Just use tap water ma dude.

Tap water

I use tap water...Im lucky to live in Oregon and we have awsome water here. I fill up my container and let it sit for a day or two. All the chlorine will dissipate by then. Some places have nasty tap water though...I would just buy bottled water then.

I buy regular bottled spring water from Wal-mart. I don't specifically buy for my T's. I use the bottle water for myself mostly. I just use a bottle or two. Plus I use the caps for drinking dishes and sometimes use the bottles cut in half for rehousing and I even cut one up like a shovel for my coco fiber.

I use the 4L jugs of spring water at walmart - when on sale for less than $2.00 CAD, I stock up on it for all my pets. If it's cheaper than a single sized bottle of water, why not? But if I run out before a sale I don't lose sleep over it.

If you're super paranoid, you can buy distilled water. The small amount of water in a dish will age out the chlorine within minutes in my opinion. My fridge has an ice machine and water filter. I just use that.

I worry about the chlorine in the tap water here so I buy the cheapest bottled water I can find, I used to spend a lot on bloody highland spring but I’ve found dirt cheap water at a discount supermarket... It’s just my preference...

Same here, I just use bottled water. I don't trust the water where I live either. I have water purifiers but still don't taste right to me so I take the safe route and just use bottled. Considering I have 50+ exotics I already spend a fortune on feeders, so what's $5 more for water gonna hurt.

Awesome- Thanks for the feedback.
