Hello, I'm trying to trim my beardie's nails and one of the nails as you can see is curled up and completely covered with quick (not the black nail). I know you're not supposed to cut that part but I'm concerned about it, but I do want to hurt her.

Hello,

I have had to trim on the black part or nail portion before. Are you able to see where the
vein ends on the nail portion? If so, you can trim it to the area just below the vein so that
you don't draw too much blood. If you do decide to trim up a bit, be sure you have some
corn starch or ointment, to help stop the bleeding.
Are you planning on using clippers?

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
