I'm keeping a turtle for a friend over Christmas break (shes on a cruise at the moment so I can't get in touch with her). One of my friends poured a shitton of food in its cage and I need to change the water now. Is tap water ok, or do I need to use bottled water? I have no idea what kind of turtle this is, it's small and I believe she got it in South Carolina.

It wouldn't make much of a soup

i'd use bottled water just to be on the safe side

if you leave the water sitting out, the chlorine will evaporate--i think tap water would be ok

i would use a dechlorinator just in case....

the water was also cloudy and i cleaned it the other day and used tap water. the turtle is still alive.

On a related note, while searching the interwebz for an answer I came across this little gem:
