Finally got a "yawn" picture!
I absolutely love seeing pictures of snakes with their mouths wide open, but never have been able to catch one myself... so last night when I was feeding Pedro, I waited until just after he swallowed the mouse, and snapped a pic of his jaw re-alignment. Not the clearest or closest shot, but at least now I know how to time them - LOL. :D

And a few others from the feeding:

And yeah, I know the prey is too small for him... I was just trying to get rid of the leftover frozen hoppers (since everyone's outgrown them now), and knew he'd happily eat two of them. ;)

Yeah, it sure is tricky! All about the timing, which is especially tough with my point-and-shoot... can't wait to get a DSLR camera. :oops:

He does get very possessive about his mice, LOL.
Yep, he's a Mojave... got him from Justin Kobylka (along with my het pair), and I think he is just wonderful. :)

I never thought of doing that, but it's a good idea... I'm always observing anyway, since they usually eat live food.
