When should i cut my dragons nails?

[OperationReggie]

Not sure if the picture will show (never posted one before) however it is does show then are his nails too long, he is only 7 month old and they dont seem to be affecting him in any way. His enclosure has tile on the bottom so he has something to grind them down with when running. Thanks for any help

i just used a nail clipper, for people, and trimmed off the death tips. i only trimmed them cuz Fred likes to try and climb atop my head so i didnt want him ripping apart my face or neck... he was nice and calm as i cut them... if you have an issue with him staying still grab a warm towel and wrap him up like a burrito and just have the one leg out at a time.

Toothless and Peppa (5.5 months old) had their 1st nail trimming last week.

I use nail clippers like http://cdn01.jefferspet.weblinc-cdn.com/product_images/cat-claw-scissors/536bb96f9fa260449100047f/detail.jpg?c=1400703090

I got them out for this a couple of hours after they went to bed , while they were warm , sleepy and relaxed , worked a charm and they were no fuss at all , angelic actually. I only took the needle sharp last 2 mm off each nail.
