Sulcata mouth

[smallwood56]

I got my sulcata in the mail last month and it still has it's egg tooth. Plus his mouth look really dark. Does this look weird?

It from eating greens . Its normal .

No, the stain is just from whatever he's been eating. Sometimes dandelion does that (or poop), and the egg tooth just means he's very young.

Well when I didn't know I asked the same question, but then I learned the hard way...It is mostly from eating there own poop... it is natural for a sulcata and it happens a lot with hatchlings, my tortoise grew out of it.

He's a poop eater I have one of those lol.

The egg tooth is typically gone within 6 weeks after hatching. It will occasionally to 8 weeks. This should help you guesstimate your new babies age.
