on top of the nail there is a dark color that run the length of the nail. On the bottom there is a white-ish/clear-ish part that only extends partway down the toe. Clip beneath that making sure you don't clip the white part. That is the quick, it hold the veins that flow blood to the toes. If by chance you do nip too close and it does bleed, use the liquid bandages or some flour to stop the bleeding.
A natural way to do this is to have slate tiles in their enclosure, then you don't have to worry about pesky nail clipping.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
