Correction !!! purple tounge with white tips

Some Hypos will have colored tounges - especially the real nice ones. My HypoHog litter had some maroon tongues last year. I see white tips randomly on my litters. They often turn black as they age.

What about blue tongues? I picked up a "normal" bci from a pet shop I worked at because of her AMAZING pink coloring and sweet dispostion. She's gotten more pink/purple with age (5 years now) and has a blue (amd I mean BLUE) tongue. Perhaps a sign of really good genes, or just a coinsidence?
