How do I clip bearded dragon nails

Bearded dragons have sharp claws that can grow long and become uncomfortable or even painful for them. It's important to trim their nails regularly to keep them healthy and comfortable. Here are the steps on how to clip bearded dragon nails:

Materials:

Nail clippers specifically designed for reptiles
Styptic powder (to stop bleeding if you accidentally cut too close)
Towel or blanket
Assistant (optional)

Instructions:

Restrain the dragon: Wrap the dragon in a towel or blanket to help restrain it and make it easier to handle. If possible, have an assistant hold the dragon's head while you trim its nails.
Identify the nails: Locate the sharp claws on the dragon's toes. The back feet may have longer claws than the front feet.
Hold the nail clippers: Hold the nail clippers parallel to the nail you want to trim.
Cut the nail: Carefully trim the tip of the nail, avoiding the pink quick (blood vessel). If you accidentally cut into the quick, apply styptic powder to stop the bleeding.
Repeat: Repeat the process for all of the dragon's nails.

Tips:

Trim only the tips of the nails, not too much.
If you're not comfortable clipping the nails yourself, consult a veterinarian or experienced reptile handler.
Handle the dragon gently to avoid stressing it out.
