    Black Tongue?
    Ok so I just got my new female Het for Axanthic and her tongue is black kinda. It is the normal pink for a little bit of it but I swear it's black/gray. Is this normal?
    Also I was holding her today and she pissed everywhere urates and all. But there were some orange looking things. I have never seem them before. Any ideas?

    The tongue can be darker depending on the color of the snake. Some morphs have a clear tongue. Some pink. Some darker red. As for it peeing on you, thats normal. The urates are usually white, yellow or orange. Perfectly normal. It will stop doing that once it gets use to being held. Make sure you give it time to settle and calm down in its new home before feeding or handling.

    Yep she's been alone for a week or so already and fed once. Just out of all my snakes never seem them with a black tongue. I think it's pretty cool though, and glad it's normal. Thanks
