I was just wondering at around what age do the brown spots on a baby sulcatas shell go away? I assume they help a baby in the wild blend in to its surroundings.
Around what age do the brown spots on thier shell go away?

What brown spots?
When do they go away, or lighten up?

Not sure what you mean either. Can you post a pic?
Post a pic, are you sure you have a Sulcata and not a leopard tortoise?

Not sure but they will eventually fade. Couple years maybe. You dont like them? I think it looks unique

They won't technically go away. They will fade a little and become much less prominent as the scutes grow out.

Many are born without them. They'll probably fade a bit in time, especially if the tort spends lots of time in natural sunlight.
You have an adorable little tort there.
I really like them. It makes him stand out. He's a great looking little guy (or girl)!
Mine never had them,at least when I got her she didn't....
