Brown spots on tongue

[spud's_mum]

Please help!
Spud was eating some dandelion and I noticed that his tongue had a cluster of brown Spots on it.
He seems himself, eating, active etc
I tried to take a pic but I couldn't get one that you could see it in

HELPPPPPPPPP!

Hi, dandelion sometimes causes brown spots on torts tongues, just a stain, it happens to Tidgy occasionally.

which has an example of the same.
I think they'll quickly fade and personally can't see it as being a problem.

Thank you! He has had a lot of dandelions lately, I'll cut back on them a bit

Dandelions are great tort food, Tidgy can't get enough of them, but we should always offer a mixed diet when we can.

If he is eating well I wouldn't worry, dandelions also affect the colour of their urine too...makes it pinky

Thankyou for this post! Just seen my tortoises tongue while he was eating and it has brown all over it! So relieved as he’s had lots of dandi leaves!! Thankyou!!
