So this is my big male Pyxie, McFatty , like those guys in Grey's Anatomy, which I don't watch. Honestly. By the way, this is not the male in the site's logo - that was a friend's frog.

Anyhow you can see the shape of McFatty's tongue - it rolls out like a carpet and the tip has two points, so kind of forked. The tip is also very moist and sticky, as you can see in the second photo where the tongue sticks to the table top! By the way, that's a superworm (super mealworm). Pyxies have two main methods for getting hold of food with their mouth - lunge for it with the jaws and grab hold using the odontoid teeth, which are sharp and very painful if you get bitten, and the second method is like this, with a flick of the tongue. Over 50 of these superworms died in the making of these photos. McFatty had no regrets.

Forked tongue frog!


Look at it sticking to the table!
