The chams are beautiful! Just my 10c worth - you can definately add Oustalets and Natal Midlands Dwarfs to the 'licking' list!
Thanks! I was pretty sure Oustalets were on the list since they're pretty similar to panthers.

Thanks everyone!
In the case of other terrestrial lizard species and snakes they lick to take scents from the ground and air and transmit them to the vomeronasal organ on the roof of the mouth directly. So essentially they are smelling their environment. It's brought up in a previous thread that panthers are often seen doing this behavior, but not veileds. There were a few other species (I want to say carpets and oustalets, but don't quote me on that) lick as they explore also. Both of my panthers do it, but I've never seen my veiled or Jackson do it.
Just a fyi...
I've seen my male Quads in the past do this, and also my current fishers. Both nowhere near as much as panthers, but they did it.

Cool! Thanks for adding them.
