Answer
Hello Noelle,

What do you feed Bently?  They do end up getting some brownish stuff on their teeth sometimes as they get older & it is caused by crickets' shells, superworms' shells or roaches' shells.  
It is really no big deal.  However, if you want to attempt to brush his teeth, you can get a tiny child's tootbrush to try & swipe at the teeth.  He might actually let you do that, too.  
You could give him a few crunch pellets or veggies a few times a week to help clean his teeth.  
So no worries.  It happens pretty frequently.
