Question regarding cage cleaning

[BadWolfDoc]

Hey all,
So I'm getting my new baby bp on Monday. I'm super excited for this as you could probably imagine. Now, I've had the cage set up for about 2 weeks now as I figured out the balancing act with the temps and humidity between all my gauges.

So my question now is, is there any special sort of cleaning solution I should grab ahead of time or backup accessories and whatnot it would be good to have on hand so I'm not scrambling at the last minute?
Thanks!

Two things that were recommended to me that I like are for cleaning/sanitizing F10sc. I bought a little bottle on Amazon and I put like 3 or 4ml in a spray bottle. It will last a LONG time... It removed an "odor" that came with my enclosure, and seems to work well.

Another thing I hadn't thought about, was a nice set of hemostats for feeding (if you're not doing live feeding). I got a pair of 16" ones (a bit long) for like $11 on ebay.

Oh, and I keep a plastic spray bottle on hand to mist the encloser a little if my humidty drops.

Hemostats I bought. The breeder has him on live so I've got to start the dreaded task of HOPEFULLY crossing him over to the f/t size of feeding.
Oh, and I have a spray bottle. I figured it would be a good little thing for humidity lvls.
I'll have to look into that F10sc though, I've never heard of it.
Thanks for the recommendation though!

I use chlorohexadine 2%. I got a gallon jug of it off of amazon for about $20. It doesn't last as long as F10sc after mixed with water (it starts to break down) but I only mix enough for a week anyway. All I do is spray down the enclosure, water dish and hide. I wipe it off with paper towel and let it dry for about a minute. No need to rinse it out as it is safe for animal contact.

All the above mentioned are great. But I have used just good old antibacterial soap and water and it seems to work well.

[BadWolfDoc]

Thanks for all the responses. I'll definitely look into everything you all have mentioned

Vinegar is cheap and it works well. Takes away any smell. Put it in a spray bottle.

Green soap has done me well over the years.

I use antibacterial dish soap, wash, rinse, dry then you're all good

For normal tank cleaning I just use white vinegar and warm water. It has always worked well for my PVC cage.
