Is it possible for a beardie to bite his own tongue? We happened to have found some Dubia (ssshhh don't tell anyone because they are supposed to be illegal in Canada) and purchased a few for our Beardies. I think Lance may have bitten the tip while munching on one.
Background history:
2 year old (estimate as we are second owners)male dragon
Mega Ray
Basking temp is 98 (he doesn't like it any warmer, we tried that and he wouldn't go near)
Cool side is 80-85 in the day
Temps get down to 65-70 at night
Diet consists of superworms and occasional silkies, horn worms and crickets
Salad is a mix of collard greens, dandelion greens, parsley, and kale, bok choy and squashes occasionaly (LOVES Blueberries)
16-17 inches long
Baths 2-3 times per week when we can.
Lance has an overbite so the tip of his tongue is constantly sticking out and it looks like his mouth is always open. Since coming to our place it doesn't look as prominant as when we got him in early November.
Any thoughts guys and gals? What should I do with him to help his poor little tongue. He hasn't eaten much today and I suspect it's because his tongue is hurting him. He did have plenty to drink in his bath tonight.
