My son has a bearded dragon & it's nails are getting long...do they need to be trimmed or left alone?

hello,


as the former owner of a 5 foot iguana, i can definatley say trim the dragon's toenails! your vet of exotic animals can do this or you can do it yourself by wrapping the lizard in a big towel to make the job easier. i would advise the vet do it however. also available at your exotic vet are plastic toenails in many colors tht slip right over the lizards own trimmed toenails and glued on with super glue. our own iggy sported a hot pink set. it cost about 20.00 to have them applied. i have also seen them available in some pet shops if you're feeling brave! jenMy son has a bearded dragon %26amp; it's nails are getting long...do they need to be trimmed or left alone?
They should be trimmed if they're getting too long. You don't want to get scratched by one of those. If you don't know how to trim them your vet should be able to.
