Sharp claws when handling

[so_cal_ninja650]

Does anyone have any tips on filing down tegu claws? My girl is tearing my hands and arms up when I handle her.
I have a large ceramic block in her tank now that I was hoping would dull them out a bit but they're still really sharp.

I use nail clippers to cut their hails. You just need to be careful not to cut them too short. I do a little bit at the time, but more often, rather then cutting too deep and causing them to bleed. My tegus are outdoors a lot and do tons of digging for bugs, so lucky for me, not much of cutting needs to be done. There are videos on YouTube on it as well

I have a big 15x15 brick paver for my tegus basking spot and it has helped a ton

I use nail clippers as well. As the previous poster mentioned, be careful of their "quick" so they don't bleed. I then do a little filing to smoothen.
