I was wondering how many of y'all trim your gila/beaded's nails. My adult is mellow, so keeping his nails short is no problem...the yearling is manageable. I have 4 babies I'm raising up and their nails are getting long. They are really "wiggley" and after getting nipped by one a few months back- I am kinda uneasy about restraining them to cut the nails.

My "plan of action" is to get a pair of those midwest gloves ...hopefully I will not loose too much dexterity... hold them that way while I trim the nails... Does anyone have the gloves?

Some of the pics I see of people's animals have long nails... In nature they constatnly grind them down on the rocks/soil/digging... Being lazy in a neodesha on aspen doesn't do anything but let their nails grow.....

Any hints/tips....

Graham
