omg! does he bite??
I never knew lizards used their tongue to lick stuff...

Awesome... thanks for sharing!

He has never bitten me, nor tail whipped, he is quite tame. Lizards and snakes use their tongues to smell their prey. They have an organ in the roof of the mouth called the jacobsen's organ that allows them to detect air particles, but they must be brought in contact with the organ via the tongue. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-jacobsons-organ.htm
