hey so i live in a country where water supply is weak at daytime, there’s a dead house gecko floating in the bathing water when i checked. i think it drowned around maybe 2 hours ago. is the water still safe to use or do i need to change it? can i just clean the water with baking soda or something? it’s really hard to replenish the water at the moment (around 2pm rn) and i need to shower for work in a couple of hours. fast replies are appreciated, thanks!

Just don’t drink it and maybe use a jug of clean water to rinse off if that would make you feel better.
