    Re: Strange and disturbing mass death of babies

    Ill try using straight bottled water instead of purified tap for a while and see if that helps. A stuck shed just wouldnt make sense, considering the more recent deaths have been turning green without the eye fog, and a stuck shed wouldnt cause instant death. If anything it sounds like salt poisening from what google is telling me, but ive checked the calcium i use, the worms, and the water purifyer. None have any trace of Na, and the purifyer is supposed to nutralize it! Maybe theyre getting it from someplace else? Im just not quite sure where.... To bottled water now we go

    Watch out what bottled water you're using. Lots of it has sodium bicarbonate and/or sodium chloride added "for flavor". Use unadulterated spring water or if you don't live in an area with a lot of air pollution, collected rainwater is fine too.

    Walmart brand spring water is fine. I used to buy gallons of it and use it for my frog, and they're way more sensitive to water quality than snakes.
