Yes, I've had him for around 3 weeks, I did research before I bought it. I know they're nocturnal. I am not too worried about the being active, I've been seeing him out of his hide at night a lot now. I was just worried that the yawning was for something serious. I do have to agree I over handle him. Usually once a day but I shall limit myself. I am handling him right now (spot cleaning) and he yawned 2 times.
