Hi,

Yes, snakes yawn. You'll usually notice it after they eat to align they're jaws back to the original position. It's completely normal :)

Is it yawning or is it opening its mouth to breathe? Yawning is perfectly normal, however to catch your snake doing it so frequently seems a little unusual to me...

[Katty]

I'm not sure.

2 times I saw her doing that. The first time is short n the second time is quite long. Abt a min or so.

Thanks

A minute or so? I really do not think that is yawning? Also, what do you mean by short. Yawning, or relocated their jaws, usually only takes a few seconds?

my snake's all yawn but not for like a minute or so that seems to be a long time for a yawn

If it leaves it's mouth open for a minute.. i'd check and see if u see any mucus by it's nose or in it's mouth and if she's breathing hard.

Gino..

Btw .. snakes don't dislocate their jaws.. they disarticulate them :)

Katty,
Your having alot of problems with your snake maybe you should sell it and get a easy corn or ball.(just a offer)Because the last thing i whant to hear is that your snake is dead or in a terible condition.

Don't worry your snake is fine. I see mine doing that yawn thing for a while too. If it looks straight up in the air for a long period of time that might be star gazer's disease. But if it doesn't look straight up for a long time and it just looks like its yawning thats fine.

What is star gazing disease caused by?:confused:
