[Iceman]

she was on my leg and she opened her mouth really wide.
but she was not showing her teeth and she did not bite.
in her tank she did the samething twice.
do snakes yawn?




p..s this is not iceman it is his girlfriend.

[snakehunter]

yeah my snake does this all the time, especially when im handling her, i guess she gets tired some times.

[BoidKeeper]

Yup normal behaviour. Open mouth breathing, now that's bad.

Yeah, I think it's hilarious (and cute) when my ball "yawns".

Gives me a chance to see inside her mouth too!

I love it when Jega does that. The exercise she gets from handling makes her tired and she yawns a lot. Isn't it cool?? :D

[stkkts]

they do it after they feed too. Its how they relocate their jaw.

"but she was not showing her teeth"

I didn't know that ball pythons have retractable teeth

[stkkts]

I think its a baby, their teeth are small. Even when my full grown opens his mouth, I dont see his teeth.

P.S. Icemans girlfriend (LOL) you know they dont have fangs like venomous snakes right?

[MontyPython]

i have a baby too and when he yawns, i can see his teeth.

[stkkts]

hmm. yeah I dont recall ever seeing my snakes teeth. Odd. I know he has em though, he drew blood from my mom. :D

[mango]

i've never seen jega's teeth either.

[Iceman]

well i was not sure,because most animals show their teeth when they yawn or when they are ready to attack. yes i know they don't have fangs like venomous snakes. thanks

Our Kenyan yawns all the time. She's scared me the first few times that she did it, because I only caught it with the the corner of my eye, I thought at first that she was going to bite me. All I could see were those teeth of hers! It happens quite often when I'm holding her...I wonder if I bore her? *LOL*

[Invictus]

Don't forget the corns, Dragon. They are so cute when they yawn. They get the really big, extended ones too. :)

the vet showed me huxley's teeth when I took him in for a check-up. They are SO small...they almost looked like dents rather than actual teeth.
