How do I trim my bearded dragon's claws?

Bearded dragons shed their claws regularly, but sometimes they can grow too long and need to be trimmed. Here are the steps on how to trim your bearded dragon's claws:

1. Gather your supplies. You will need a pair of sharp nail clippers, a towel, and some cornstarch.
2. Wrap your bearded dragon in a towel. This will help to keep it calm and prevent it from moving around too much.
3. Hold your bearded dragon's foot firmly. Use your thumb and forefinger to hold the foot securely.
4. Locate the quick. The quick is the pink part of the claw that contains blood vessels and nerves. Avoid cutting into the quick, as this will cause pain and bleeding.
5. Trim the claw. Use the nail clippers to carefully trim the tip of the claw. Cut only a small amount at a time, and avoid cutting into the quick.
6. File the claw. Once you have trimmed the claw, use a file to smooth out any sharp edges.
7. Apply cornstarch. If your bearded dragon starts to bleed, apply cornstarch to the wound to stop the bleeding.
