Yellow Tongue

[Rango_TheManEater]

For as long as I’ve had him, Rango’s tongue has been a light pink (like bubblegum almost). I’ve seen that other veiled chameleons can have purple or yellow tongues, which is… actually pretty cool to me.

But as I was feeding Rango this morning, I saw the tip of his tongue was a light yellow. Maybe it’s because of the pressure there? He was eating a roach-y breakfast at the time. It didn’t look anything like an infection. Maybe it’s was just a lighting thing?

Do you have a photo of the yellowish tongue?

Sorry for the late response, I had to wait until Rango’s dinner time to get some pictures of the tongue

It’s harder to see on camera, so it just looks more like the tip of his tongue is a bit different. Am I just imagining it?

(Last one is the best picture!)

His tongue looks normal to me?

Awesome!

I was really worried that it might have been something caused by the new bugs I’ve been feeding him… but I also just got a T5 light for the first time so maybe it’s just the colors I didn’t see before!
