Water

[MyManGethro]

We buy bottled water to drink but cook and bathe with our tap water it has a lot of chlorine in it smells like a pool is it ok to bath and let my dragon injest this water or should I buy him bottled after too

I use bottle water for baths(in case she drinks it) and for her drinking and misting water also. The fluoride is bad too..

If the tap water is safe for you to drink it's probably fine for your dragon too. That said, I use filtered water for both of us =). I don't like the chlorine taste at all.

Tap water at 20degC only has about 7g of Cl2 dissolved in it per litre as supplied from the tap.

Cf my Perry's Chemical Engineers' HB , solubility constant for Cl2 in water is
2.48x10^-3 @ 283Kelvin
1.88x10^-3 @ 293Kelvin


Easy to remove Cl2 from tap water , simply boil the water then cool it down in the fridge and you'll have Cl2 free water.

As stated above - if your tap water is safe for human use and ingestion, it's safe for your lizards, and it's LOTS cheaper than buying supposedly "pure" bottled water in plastic bottles.

Also read this http://www.abc.net.au/health/talkinghealth/factbuster/stories/2010/10/27/3048695.htm , you may well be doing more harm than good buying bottled water for your lizards (and self) than you realise as some components of plastic leach out of the plastic and contaminate the water.
