hey guys, i clip my beardies nails, i just use normal nail clippers.
When doing it have a good look at the beardies nail and you should see the vein in the nail, normally it goes about half way down the nail. Be careful not to clip past the vein, this will hurt the beardie and it will bleed.
I just take the tips off their nails, it is something that you need to do often if theyre not wearing down in the enclosure.
Good luck, it is pretty straight forward to do.

Once you have clipped... try getting some tree branches with rough bark on them to climb... then you may not need to clip as often & better for the reptile

We use nail clippers as well, you don't need to take a lot off, just the sharp tip.
