Ingo it's just like trimming a human's nails -you do it to keep the length managable and to prevent the tips from becomming sharp and jagged. We don't clip juvenile nails but as the iguanas get older we just take off the very tip every so often. Like Nanci said, if we didn't do this, any time one of the igs had to be handled by ourselves or the vet, we would all be bloody messes. Their nails get so sharp it can be like little needles puncturing your skin.
