if the dragon's nails are getting too long, you do need to trim them. Small cat nail trimmers are the best to use. Depending if your dragon's nails are clear enough, you should be able to see the quick. If dark, just trim the tips of the nails. Keep some of that powder (septic?) to stop bleeding, if you do accidently cut into the quick. (this is the living part of the nail). Adding some rough surfaces in the cage, rocks, bricks, ceramic tiles, etc, will help keep your dragon's nails trimmed naturally, depending on how active your dragon is.
