Nail trimming

[kayla55]

My bearded dragon is approximately 4 months old! Her nails are starting to scratch me a lot! What is the safest way to cut her nails? If possible? Or how do I wear them down? Would getting a “sand type” carpet help if I’m not comfortable trimming them myself?

Using ceramic tile as substrate can help keep the nails in check. You can also file them a bit with an emery board or clip the sharp tip of the nail using nail clippers. They don't like to sit still for this, so be patient and try for just one hand/foot at a time if she gets too wiggly.
