Hi guys,
I have a beardie who I've just noticed has extremely long claws...he has branches in his enclosure and uses them a bit but not heaps. Anyway, they're curling over to the point where they'll create some problems soon I think, I'm pretty sure I've heard of people doing this before but I'm not 100% sure if they have a cuticle similar to a cat or dog which can bleed and hurt if you cut it back too far. Does anyone know what I should look for in terms of how far to cut them?
Thanks 
Zo

OK, thanks guys. I just did it anyway lol. I was hoping for some info on if/where the cuticle is so I don't hurt him but he was ok! Looks much better now  | |
