Toby's got a strange yellowness around his mouth. Open to answers on what that means. :)

Ok yes :-D. So I don't know...
Maybe the horn on the mouth is to long. Do you feed maybe to "soft foot"

He's been eating something yellow. Since he is able to wander all over the house there's no way to know if he's been eating something that he shouldn't...like a yellow crayon. His beak could stand to be trimmed too.

Depends on what he has eaten. We have no way of knowing if its bad or not.

This is why you shouldn't let him on the floor to romp around . Your tort needs to have his beak trimmed . Take him to a vet that can give him a nice filing .I would not let them use clippers. He is a good looking little dude . You should have a look around and see if you can find some crumbs of the yellow stuff on the floor .

The highest part of his beak is very close to his eyes! Almost looks flaked away, could be the yellow staining making it appear that way?!
