Weird

I saw a baby boa at the pet store I used to work at that either simply did not have or tounge or there was something wrong with the related muscles or whatever control devices they have to use it properly. We thoroughly examined its mouth and I think for some crazy reason it was born w/o a tounge.

Thats not the first time I've heard of this happening. Pretty rare, but certainly possible.

No he has a tongue he just hasn't extended it like every other bp I have.

Good new's he took large hopper yesterday.I'm a little happier but still going to be watching the little guy.The breeder I bought him from has been very helpfull and has offered an exchange if I'm not happy with my purchase.

Thats good news on both accounts. Defintely keep us updated. Maybe even a pic of the little guy???

Congrats on the feeding emilio. And, Brad beat me to the punch, as I have heard of snakes that had no tongue. So long as they eat good, I don't think it is that big of a concern. Keep us posted on his health and future eating.

Finally saw some tongue action today while he was drinking water.Good very good.
