Recently I saw ad (not here) for a GTP with fused tongue. After talking to a few breeders, apparently it's not an uncommon occurrence but breeders prefer not to talk about it. I had a few neonates with fused or somehow deformed tongues and I am sure it's not a genetic problem but it's more likely something to do with incubation.
The condition is not impairing the snakes in any way, they feed and slough normally, the tongues don't hang out of their mouths, it's only visible when they flick.
Have anyone here had neonates with fused tongues? What's your opinion about the cause of it? Would you class such animals as inferior?
