I have done it before when I first got a beardie but it's not a good idea. You can buy reptile clippers really cheap off of Ebay or Amazon (depending where in the world you are). Clipping with human clippers can cut them at a bad angle, which can cause long term problems.

To keep them in check, you can but reptile sand paper to put in your Viv, always a good idea.

Add-on: Would not recommend buying from a pet store, heavily over priced. Pets at home (UK pet superstore) charged me £12 for a pair. Utterly ridiculous.

Here's a tip that I do when trimming my 2 as they don't stay still. Once they are asleep on my lap I will bring a leg out trim and rotate around.. lol they are none the wiser :) just make sure you don't clip too much just take the hook part and if you have stop bleed in case.
