Soaking / Bathing?

How should I go about doing this?

I walked in the room just in time to catch my beardie running thru some crap, and now its on his leg and tail.

And I'd like to get it off... Just don't kjnow how I should go about it, or where to start.

Thanks In advance

I bath mine in the kitchen sink. I first disinfect it with clorox cleanup and then rinse it thoughly. They say your kitchen sink is the most germy place in the house. For a baby I fill it to my first knuckle and for an adult my second. I make the water temp. 80-85 and plunk em in. lol. I've seen people use soap but I never have. I have scrubbed them with a soft toothbrush if they're real dirty from a nest box. Keep in mind if they can they will poop in the water and then you will have to drain it and refill to wash them off. I've had dragons that love a bath and ones that hate it but after a while they all get used to it and like it. I measure the temp. of my water but if you don't and they go crazy to get out it is too hot.
