My beardies are about 7" long. How should I bathe them?

for babies i take a small rubbermaid bin (the ones that are just bigger then shoe boxes), or you can use tupperware fill it only with enough water to the shoulder of the dragon, luke warm, place a face cloth at the bottom of the bin so they can grip, and if its a bigger bin like a rubbermaid shoe bin or somerhing fo the sort you can place a rock or something they can hang onto or even a rolled up face cloth, then just place them in. I take al my guys outside to bathe as i find they enjoy bathing in the sunshine, but if they have never been outside before, dont try it all at once as far as how often maybe 2 times a week for bathing babies, you can spritz then the other days, unless they really love the bath you can do it more often, but ease them into it, dont want to stress them out with bathing, some really dont like it.
