    My little guy started rubbing his face against his hide and water bowl and substrate right after his feeding. What could be the cause of this? Anyone have such an experience? Thnx

    a little concerned..

    Most likely he's realigning his jaw. They'll also rub to get a shed started.

    He had a perfect shed less than a week ago. So I guess that leaves realigning his jaws :|

    I wouldn't sweat it. They have to get their jaws back in place after unhinging them to swallow their prey. It's normal behavior to rub and/or yawn to do that.
