The only thing is, is that if I cut them, the nail is so close to the vein. I've cut that many times before but it's almost impossible without cutting her being this time.

Ok this not keeping her nails down obviously - I would get a piece of ceramic tile in the tank something that's textured nothing real coated or smooth- go to your home improvement store- and rub your hand over the tile this will keep her nails down- I am gonna see what I can do for some help/ ideas on this

I know nothing about bearded dragons, I'm only here to take care of the spam, but I DO know turtles. And when a turtles' nails curl like that it's the first sign of MBD. So It begs the question does your dragon get calcium? And what type/brand UVB light do you use?
