How to clean teeth?
A super weird thing happened and it's making me decide I want to start cleaning my Indo's teeth. Stryker chose to chew on a cotton swab today when I let him out and when I pried out of his mouth there were red and orange/brown dots on it, so I had him bite it again to double-check... More dots. I checked inside his mouth and it's completely normal! His saliva isn't thick, there's no odor, his teeth are white, and his mouth is still the normal pink and blue. I don't know what could be causing it but I just want some advice on how to start cleaning his teeth to avoid any more of it.

You really can't clean their teeth. He probably just bit down too hard and made himself bleed a little. Don't worry about it.

Skinks don't need their teeth cleaned.

Thank you. That's pretty relieving.

Re: How to clean teeth?
Really the only way to clean their teeth is to offer them crunchy veggies and bugs. Make sure you give them something to crunch on every now and then and don’t overfeed them fruit to ensure they stay clean.
