Garter tounge peeling?

[Brittany26]

Hello, not sure if this in right section as I feel this doesn't belong in Urgent Care. Anyway, for a while now (~past year or 2)
little pieces of my snakes tounge has been peeling off in a curly string. This doesn't happen often, but enough to question about it.
I've only seen about 10+ pieces in his lifetime. I googled this before but nothing came up, so I wondered maybe if you guys
have ever heard of this. I have a picture or two of this (although not in good quality) if you need to see one.

Thanks for reading this.

I have heard that they also shed the skin on their tongues... but I have not witnessed it personally. Anyone know for sure?

I was amazed when I learned it but shedding tongue skin is normal.
Hard to see but I've witnessed it a number of times.

Not sure how clearly you can see these, as they were taken with a mg-1 camera..but here ya go.

Love that second photo. At first I thought "What is wrong with that snake".

Hmmmm...interesting. I had also heard of tongue shedding, but I have never witnessed it in any of my snakes.

Nor have I. In fact, I never even heard of it. And I'm still trying to figure out what you guys are seeing. I can't see a dang thing in those photos.

I've seen it. Snakey rubbed his tongue on my finger and it peeled off.
You're blind if you cant see it.
