i do about 20 percent water change every weekend, because as babies they can be sensitive. but just take a vaccum thing, for tanks, you know about those right? and suck it into a bucket and take the bucket, dump it out, then add more water

Buy a gravel vacuum and a large bucket. Siphon about a bucket out a week and replace with clean water. Use a water conditioner to make it safe for reptiles. You can buy a small vacuum at most pet or aquarium stores for cheap.

I do a bucket each week and once a month take about half the tank out while cleaning the filter.
