Too long nails.?

So Dreki's nails have always been as long as what I'm assuming is the quick. The front half of her claw is black and the second half is that pale tan color. Ive always just cut the black part when it's past the tan part on the others but I've only cut Dreki's maybe two or three times since we've had her since March. Can I cut that back part too.? Her claws are so long, it's reshaping her fingers and just don't look comfortable but the black part NEVER grows. So can I cut any of that pale part that's behind the black part of her claw.? Does that make any sense.?

Did you look on youtube for videos on cutting nails? If not look there

Luis doesn't get his claws cut as I keep rocks and other hard surfaces in the tank so he can wear them down on his own.
Here is a refference of how long his are (without any cutting!)

Honestly I'd like them longer though but he's quite active....

Yeah, we have stuff for Dreki to wear hers down but both the light part in the back and the dark strip in the front have always basically been the same length and that's real long. It's so weird.

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
