BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

I bought a pink tongued skink at a reptile sho in Portland Oregon, but while we were driving home I noticed when he tasted the air his tongue looked blue. So I called the shop I bought him from to ask about that they said the juveniles tongued are black while they are young. Is this true? They said he was only 6-7 months old.

Yes tongues are blue when born and turn pink as they mature.

Yeah, it’s a cool little qwirk I have a 7 month old pink tongue and she has a little blue/black tongue
