Does anyone get their tegu's claws cut. The claws and scratch marks really don't bother me, i was just wondering if any does get them cut, and if so how they go about it.

Depending on how chill you lizard is and a little size helps with this but you can use a "Pet-i-cure" on them. The plug-in or battery type knock-off. You gently stick the nail in and it sands it down. My girl, Belle was completely not bothered by it. She was really awesome.
The roommate's cat, not so much! :lol:

We cut just the sharp tip, probably no more than 1/8" for an adults nail. You don't want a 4 foot lizard leaving a blood trail across your white carpet!!
