because it is trying to heal itself. it knows it should not have a hold in it and the natural process is to try to heal
blue tongue lizards shed their skin because their scales don't grow so as they grow if they didn't shed skin their skin would just tear.

Well, technically one can say so but it is more like a spider molting. If the giraffe could not shed it's skin, it would not grow for giraffe's are invertebrates.
Any time your skin is pierced, there can be an infection, because bacteria can get in through the hole in the skin, until it heals. Tongues are particularly vulnerable because there is usually a lot of bacteria in the mouth, as a result of the food that passes through, and the saliva, which creates an environment in which bacteria can live. Dry skin is more resistant to infection than wet skin, for this reason. So yes, tongue piercing is risky, and I would strongly recommend against it. You do not need to take that kind of risk.
Amphibians are known for their large mouth, fleshy tongue, eyelids(they have glands that will keep their eyes moist), and their ability to shed skin. Reptiles also can shed skin seeing as to how these two phylums are close.
No, they shed their skin as they grow... ..That would be depressing if they did...XD
No African Dwarf Frogs do not shed there skin.
It all really depends. But yes, having your tongue pierced would be much more painful than your bellybutton. Imagine all the blood in your mouth, and having to deal with soft foods for a while. Your tongue is basically made up of muscle tissues, and tonnes of nerve cells and taste buds, therefore making it very sensitive. Your bellybutton however is only a layer of skin.
They regularly shed their skin its quite irreagular for them to shed skin though..
Yes, as they grow they will molt (shed their skin) a number of times before they pupate. Lar
Corn Snakes? Yes, all snakes shed their old skin.
