The reason I posted this is because I noticed that one of mine has a charcoal gray tongue. No pink that I could see.

Re: Tongue Color?
I have a granite that has a black and pink tounge. It has not shown in any of her offspring

You're absolutely right. One case definitely eliminates any possibility of it being a marker in another type of morph. Case closed. :D

Can you guys take pictures of those dark/multi-colored tongues? I'd really like to see that.
I've never heard of them being used as any kind of a het marker, but I don't see why they couldn't be. The problem is, well, shades: All of my ball pythons have fundamentally pink tongues, but some of them have shades of gray or black when you view them against a light-colored background. But it's very much background- and lighting-dependent.
My dark male het pied and my axanthic female have the darkest tongues. Even darker than my black pastels, I think.
All of my pieds, lucys, and albinos have very light pink tongues.
