Reptisafe

[Kaden Bryant]

Is reptisafe safe to use to treat the water for my Ts?

Yeah, it should be. So are aquarium water treatments. They both contain sodium thiosulfate, which neutralize chlorine in tap water. Either option is OK.

Okay good to hear. Although I looked at the bottle and it said it adds calcium and electrolytes as well. Is this still okay? I’ve heard excess calcium can cause bad molts. Also, is it okay to use tap water that is softened with a water softener? Could the added salt harm the Ts?

It should be fine. The concentration of those substances is very low, much too low to harm a tarantula. Treated tap water is OK. I'm not sure about the water softener, but I assume the concentration would be low enough to where it wouldn't be a problem. However, it wouldn't hurt to research it.

Put tap water in an open container and let it sit overnight.

ts arent like fish...they dont need water to be treated. Tap is just fine.

Oh and that calcium thing is a myth.

I treat it all with prime but only because i keep fish and my city uses chloramines which dont exit the water like chlorine in 24 hours
