Happy new owner of an ambanja

[jpaol99]

Hi, this is my first time posting. I just recieved my new 4 month blue bar ambanja two days ago. He's still adapting to his new surroundings and I'm trying to get the temps just right, but he seems happy. I was wondering what you guys would recommend for an everday safe reptile cleaner. Just something to spray the bottom out and the plant pots etc? Right now im just using a dripper and hand spraying but would like to get a misting system set up. I have read so much about having problems with this system and that system, is there a decently priced system that works well? Thanks for your responses. I will get some pics up within the next few days.

Welcome

Welcome to the group! Congrats on your new boy too. Please do post pictures of him and your cage setup when you can. For total cage cleaning I use a bleach/water/dish soap solution. I take the whole thing, including the plants outside to do this. For a quick clean up of poop on the bottom I just use a damp paper towel with a little antibacterial soap on it. I'm not big into buying fancy cleaners.

If I was you I would stick with hand misting for a couple of months. Once in the morning and once in the late afternoon. A simple plastic spray bottle works well. Use this hand misting as a way to observe and learn about your new cham. This will also give you time to figure out what kind, if any, sort of misting system would work for you. I would concentrate, for now, on making sure the other cage features, like plants and lighting, are correct. You have plenty of time to spend $$$ on misting systems! Once again, WELCOME! I'd love to see pictures of your boy
