not yet but some have. i’m starting to feed him zoomed grassland diet and adding cuttle bone and taking him outside. truly i think his size was from me not giving him what he needed. i’m now FULLY committing to him. hopefully we will see some growth.
I agree with Yvonne. That is not normal and I think you have a problem there that needs immediate attention. Have you tried to carefully and gently rub the dots off? Like with a dull rounded pencil tip or something similar that won't hurt the tortoise?

Nothing abnormal there. Probably starting to shed skin.

All animals shed skin. Snakes do it tidily all in one go. Humans do it in tiny bits that become house dust. Tortoises do it in patches and look downright tatty at times.

It needs no potions. Leave it alone and the old skin will rub off as your tort goes about its business
Good to Know. Thanks for sharing
