    Default Water conditioner

    Goodmorning everyone, I was wondering what some other peoples opinions on here about using reptisafe. I have been using it to condition my pac man frog and firebelly toads water for their enclosures, I use tap water. And I just wanted to know if maybe their is a better poduct or if im good. All my little guys and girls r ok, its just something im curious about. Any advice or opinions would be more then welcomed.

    While I haven't used it personally it is clearly marked for both reptiles and amphibians. Probably not much different than any other tap water conditioner.

    Thanks for the answers. I believe its ok to use, just noticed that others on here use other products also. So I was just wondering if it was because others have had problems with it.

    I have used reptisafe since I started keeping as a kid (way before my frog forum days). I really like it. With the new formula, it also claims to do more than just take out contaminants. It claims to add electrolytes including calcium which I'm sure you are aware is very important to our little friends' health. However, much like others here, I found something I liked and haven't deviated from it so I don't have experience with others. I'm a fan of most things zoomed.

    Any good quality water conditioner is OK for amphibians. I been using Stress-Coat for many years with my aquatic frogs and haven't had any problems.
