Is it usual for normal Royals to have pink tongues ? I bought four siblings from a chap who had bred them, he confirmed that their parents were both normals. At least two of them have pink tongues - will look out for the other twos tongues. Confused

I thought that normals had black tongues, or am I mistaken?

Hello out there.... This is not a joke question. I asked because I know that Pastels etc have pink tongues and was hoping that it might mean that there is a hidden gene in there somewhere. What do you think ?

So it would seem then that the pink tongue bit is neither here nor there as far as hidden genes are concerned. Thankyou to those who replied.
