I had my water python out last night, and she started yawning?  she was flicking her tongue out like crazy and then it would stop with the tongue sticking out for a few seconds, and then have a little yawn, flick a few more times, have a huge yawn, move around a bit, yawn again, this time as if she was finishing off her meal, and so on... Do snakes normally do this and i have never witnessed it before or is there something wrong? or was she just feeling a bit tired?  |

i wouldnt worry to much penny
i have noticed my black head and one of my bredli seem to yawn more often when they havent been fed for a couple of weeks but its not a constant thing
as long as your girl doesnt have anything visibly stuck in her mouth i reckon she's just streching her gums

my coastals always greet the morning with a series of big yawns, I know there is a purpose to it, (aligning their jaws) but some of them a just plain wake up yawns-even gets a bit of a head shake with it from yawning so hard. lol

When I first got Ziggy, about 3 days afterwards mum was watching her and she yawned and my almost screamed, because she saw all the teeth lol.. Now mum just thinks it's cute when Ziggy yawns.
