    albino tongue

    I don't know why I never noticed this before
    my lavender albino kingsnake's tongue is pink with pale yellow tips
    is that typical for albinos?

    normal for every albino I've seen....most normal tongues have black tips so the albinos will have pink ones.

    but what about the tips?
    they're the same creamy pale yellow as his body markings
    is that normal too?
    or some do - some don't, like with the black tips?

    Yellow is the color you get when you turn reptilian black pigment into albino. Perfectly normal.
