Hi there, so my 10 month old red-tail has been making a clicking sound so a assumed RI so i started treating him with f10sc vet disinfectant this have been looking better his humidity is around 70% and his temp on his hot side is 90 hot spot cool side he is at about 80 and i was feeding today and saw this black and i haven't really looked in his mouth before so im unsure if this is normal i would take him to a vet but i don't have any around i would appreciate feed back thanks

Looks like his trachea to me, pushed aside to breath while eating.
Couldn't find a good example on google.. So look at this picture of mine Open mouth boa (https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/738x539q90/607/gr60.jpg) This was one i had already uploaded, but i have other examples if this one isn't clear enough. Hope this helped.

That is the tip of the pigmented tongue and glottis you are seeing. It is normal.
