Importance of Clean Water

Clean water is essential to promote the health of your reptiles and reduce the risk of disease. It is vital that your reptiles drinking and bathing water is changed daily to prevent viruses and bacteria from food, substrates or insects that have contaminated the water. Using regular tap water is also a no-go. Similar to fish, reptiles and amphibians are highly sensitive to the chemicals like chlorine and chloramines in our tap water. Therefore, it is essential to use a reptile safe water conditioner like Zoo Med ReptiSafe or Seachem Prime to remove any harmful contaminants and keep your reptiles safe.

Maintaining a Healthy Habitat for Reptiles Living in Water

It's not only contaminants like chlorine that can make the water unsafe. In tanks with a regular running water cycle, such as those for turtles, it's crucial to monitor pH levels to ensure they remain within a safe range. Turtles also need a source of water-soluble calcium to support healthy shell growth. Additionally, it’s important to remove any sludge and algae using reptile-safe cleaners and to introduce beneficial bacteria, especially when establishing a new tank. Our range of water treatments helps ensure that your pet’s drinking and bathing water is clean and free from harmful contaminants, promoting their overall health.
