This thread is for the folks who don't know how to cut dragon nails perhaps this picture will help you. you can use rodent nail trimmers for 11months and younger and for 1 year and over you can use dog nail trimmers. And pls dont cut your dragons nails if theres none below the white part(aka the nerve)

Thanks Mango, that should help some curious owners. :) They can check youtube videos as well to actually watch as someone cuts their beardie's nails.

I have a dragon that is 3 yrs old and never had his nails cut. His nails are quite long and only about 1/8 inch beyond the white part. Is it possible to do anything now to shorten his nails?

i'd cut them as suggested above and just keep at it. if it is an issue of causing problems walking, a vet could cut back further and then cauterize to stop the bleeding. i wouldn't suggest doing that at home though.

Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
