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??

"but she was not showing her teeth"

I didn't know that ball pythons have retractable teeth

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?

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*

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.
