  Yes Scarecrow,
  
  It is in this way that was represented the sign scorpio in the Middle Ages.
  
  Here is another example, a stained glass window of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris (first half of the thirteenth century)

  Are we all on the same page with this? Morgan M. 890 appears to be picture first, article following. So the things in the tree are salmanders per JKP.
  
  See: MS Ashmole 1511  p. 171

  That makes the one in the upper right of first page posted from Morgan M. 890, with the pointed tongue, a representation of "Saura lacertus"
  
  However, since the image in the lower right also has a pointed tongue and is a 'serpens', it brings the question as to whether the artist "accepts" the concept of a forked tongue.

  Frog in Historia Plantarum, also known as Tacuinum sanitatis (see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.). This codex came from the Visconti court in Milan. It then became part of the Biblioteca Corviniana
  
  
  The codex features several other animals in relation to herbs.
