Fish and Amphibians are the only ones you need to worry about. And remember, Chlorine evaporates pretty quickly out of the water - so relax and enjoy the simplicity of that indoor plumbing :-)

Chloramine doesn't evaporate particularly quickly at all though. Some municipalities use chlorine, others use chloramine, which is a combination of ammonia and chlorine. The ammonia "locks up" the chlorine so that it is more difficult for the chlorine to leave the water. I'm not saying that the low dose of chlorine is going to hurt the snake, but if you're on a chloramine water system, the snake is likley going to ingest some chlorine.
I don't know anything about chlorine affecting amphibians, but I do know that there are dechlorinators on the market which work the same way as (fish) aquarium dechlorinators, and are marketed for use with amphibians.
