Hi everyone,

Varuna is our first ball python. He's a one-year-old wild type. Today we noticed that his tongue looks quite a bit darker than usual. He isn't showing any signs of distress, with the possible exception that he refused his last 2 meals. We checked the rest of his mouth and it looks the same as always. It's just the tongue. Does anyone know what this may be a sign of? Is this something that will require a vet's attention? Thank you for any help you can give.
