    Weird BP behaviour

    My ball is acting all weird out of a sudden. I caught him now for the third time when roaming that he sometimes seems like he would trying to realign his jaws? And he does that for like few 10 seconds and roams on. It looks just like he had a meal ... although he didn't.

    Humidity in his tub is kept around 55-60% and the temperature in his warm spot is 90F.

    Is it something to be worry about? Usually his head is leveled with floor not sky high, haven't seem him star glazing and no mucus is observed...

    Any chance he just yawned?

    What kind of substrate do you use and when did he last eat?

    He is now on paper towels due to mites so it's not a piece of bark stuck in his mouth. It would be weird for him to yawn this much. It can last like 30 seconds or more and it's repeated then ... never seen a ball yawn like that. Usually they just spread their mouth and close, this one looks like realigning his jaw... left, right left right again ... and then he stops.

    It's not about eating i think. He ate 4 days ago.
