New owner concerns

Hello! I just got a new little beardie yesterday and I have a few concerns. I know that they carry salmonella and after they're handled, hands should be washed thoroughly. My little guy likes to crawl under my shirt to keep warm. Do I need to scrub everything he touches? I'm still a little paranoid at this point I guess. Thanks!

Its good to keep in mind though. If you have the dragon around your sinks or food prep areas, make sure to clean very well after. If you have children, make sure they wash their hands well after, etc

Keeping good hygiene in his enclosure is really important so cleaning up after his messes and cleaning him takes care of most of it..
