Really sounds like "short tongue syndrome" to me. It is caused my deficiencies in vitamin A and calcium. A lot of the members, including myself, swear by the Repashy vitamin supplements, which are better formulated for absorption and metabolization for herps than herptivite/herptical.

Here is some more info on short tongue syndrome:

And the Repashy supplement manufacturer's website:

Short tongue syndrome can be a serious problem if not addressed quickly

Ok so I went out to Petsmart and Petco because there aren't any local pet stores around here. Petsmart didn't have any Repashy products at all. At Petco I found some Repashy calcium plus for leopard geckos and that has 400,000 IU/Kg of vitamin A among other stuff as well. I guess it will be ok for now until I order the stuff online.
I don't think that it's specially formulated for leopard geckos; I think that's just the picture Allen Repashy chose for the label. I use the same calcium + supplement (smells like bananas to me), and I highly recommend it, as do others on the forum.

You can get the Repashy vitA supplement on his website:
Repashy Superfoods :: RETAIL :: Vitamin A Plus - Repashy Ventures - Distributor Center

Some of the site sponsors might also carry it:
