  1. Clipping the nails can be done at any age.  When the lizard is young, it's for the comfort for the owner.  As the lizard gets older, it may need its nails clipped to prevent them from overgrowing.  In either case, you might as well start now so that you both get accustomed to it -- it'll be less stress for you and the lizard if you are both used to the procedure.  

    Get yourself a pair of small, scissor type bird and small animal nail clippers.  Just take off the very end of the nail where it's sharp.  Don't overdue it.  Get into the habit of doing this once every couple of weeks or so.  That way you won't ever have to take much off, and you won't have to worry about clipping the quick.
