Hi, I'm new her and have a question about our Beardie's tongue. Pixel seems to be healthy, eats his veggies, though I wish more enthusiastically, and LOVES his Dubias. We've only had him short of 2 weeks, but he's a sweetie! The one thing I find odd is that the tip of his tongue is kind of white with a black center. it is ONLY the very tip. The rest seems pink and nothing seems to be bothering him. He is pooping and drinks water. We give him warm baths every 3 says and have been taking him out on the patio in the sun for the last few days and he seems to LOVE it... He gets orange around his eyes and under his chin and very bright yellow on his back and runs around out there. He doesn't want to come in. Any ideas you have would be appreciated.
Thanks

I've seen that before. Is he able to eat without issue? Is his tongue sticky enough to grab onto bugs and veges? If it isn't bothering him and he can eat well then I wouldn't worry about it. The bigger concern with mouths is sores, bleeding, or rotten/degraded looking tissue. It sounds like just a little bit at the end is white which seems to be pretty normal.

He picks up veggies and his Dubias without issue. He licks EVERYTHING... mostly looking for more Dubias. LOL. It seems OK... I just wanted to see if I should be worried about it being an issue for them.
Thanks

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
