Pip, our green iguana flicks her tongue as she explores outside.

Iguanas flick their tongues primarily to gather sensory information about their environment. They have a well-developed Jacobson's organ (or vomeronasal organ) located on the roof of their mouth, which helps them analyze chemical cues in the air or on surfaces. When they flick their tongues, they pick up tiny particles and bring them to this organ to "taste" or "smell" their surroundings.

This behavior helps iguanas:
Detect Food: They use their tongues to identify edible plants or other food sources.
Sense Danger: By picking up scents, they can detect potential predators or other threats.
Recognize Territory or Mates: Tongue-flicking helps them analyze territorial markers or scents left by other iguanas, aiding in social interactions.

It's a natural and essential behavior for their survival and adaptation to their environment.
