Breeding Question

This is a breeding question i have for next year. My friend has an albino male ball python that she wants to lend me for my female next year. Only problem is he doesnt have a tongue. Would not having a tongue get passed on to their babies??

This would depend on if it was an accident, a random congenital (born with but not genetic) or some kind of genetic birth defect. That's really odd!

She was able to see the whole clutch and only 2 of them didnt have tongues. The breeder couldnt tell her why these two didnt have tongues, so we arent really sure.
