The dark spot at the bottom front is the tip of his tongue. With a bad infection, I would expect to see some obviously redder looking inflamed areas or areas with crusty / cheesy deposits. In your pics, he looks fine. If he's eating normally and doesn't have any problem catching / crunching the insects it may not be anything to worry about. If he'll let you, it might be a good idead to check the inside of his mouth on a weekly basis for a while to see if you can detect any changes that might indicate that something serious is actually going on.
