Soon to be new guy

[John1982]

I think what I'm going to do is when I first bring him home, that will be the only time I really mess with him for the next couple months. He'll get a super clean, I'll take some photos, and set him back up in another room, only cleaning and feeding until QT is done with, washing up after doing anything with him.

That ought to do the trick nicely. A big bonus is these don't poop often so you won't have many chances to contaminate your cleaning gear. Just be sure to tend to the new guy last for feeding and watering duty.
