It's just a good idea. I've known people who keep snakes for their entire lives on untreated water or a potentially dangerous food source and never had a problem, but then others who do it for a month or two and end up with a dead or seriously ill snake. I'm just not willing to take the risk.
I usually just treat a gallon of water at a time and use it for all my reptiles. It doesn't take long and it keeps me from worrying.
