Roz, what I do is use human nail clippers. What you want to do is just cut the very tip and thats it. My beardies are so used to it they normally just sit still and watch me, lol...Just be careful not to cut to deep, just the tip...

Well, if he has been shedding and is grumpy, I would wait for sure, lol, don’t want him bolting on you while your trying to cut his nails  Oh they can be little stinkers sometimes, we soooo have to love them though :)
Good luck with round 2, lol...

i use a pedipaws. my dogs won’t let me near them with it, but the lizards take it really well. i also have another person hold the lizard, so it’s safe and secure, and i can use both hands to do what i’m doing.
