    As long as he is capable of getting the food into her he is going to give it the best try he can.
    There's no reason that a tongue deformity would make her unable to sense heat. The pit organs are not part of the same system as the tongue or even the eyes. Reduced sensory ability might just make the prey less appealing though.
