White tip on tongue?

Ziskin Jan 15, 2005 02:49 PM

We have had our new BD for a couple of weeks now, and she seems to be extremely healthy and hardy. She gets her calcium every day and her vitamins every other week. We feed her 3 times a day and she always eats very well. She is fairly active and responsive.
My concern however, is that over the past couple of days she seems to have developed a white tip on her tongue. It doesn't seem to slow her down on eating or anything, but I thought I would post something here and see if it is something I should be concerned about, or if it is a normal thing. She is between 3-4 months old.
Thanks very much for your time!

That tip is normal and all dragons have it. As they get older it just becomes easier to see. It's what they use to "Stick" their prey.
