Nothing wrong with that- they're repositioning (aligning) their very flexible jaws again after eating. Quite normal.

They don't do it after a meal they do it often. like 3to 4 times daily

sounds like possible RI, I'd get them to a reptile vet. would explain them not wanting to eat.

I think their snakes not eating has more to do with being cohabbed in dramatically too large of an enclosure with no hides or proper temperature measurements than it does to do with a few yawns. Look at the image in their gallery

Yea, I didn't see this before responding to the substrate thread OP also posted. Wideload I highly recommend you do some research, read literally any care guide you can find online and you'll be doing better than you are right now. Tossing two BPs into a, for them, giant enclosure with aspen substrate, a water bowl, and nothing else isn't even the bare minimum.

Well they were a gift. From my mother. and she don't know anything about snakes. I have been reading all the stuff on the forum and I have learned a lot

They WERE a gift. Now the ARE a responsibility. Glad you’ve learned things since joining the forums. Now it’s time to implement that knowledge by setting the animals up properly in their own suitably sized enclosures with an adequate sense of security and thermostat regulated heat sources to create a temperature gradient.

Yea them being gifts, or your mother not know anything about snakes, doesn't change the conditions that you're keeping them in. I doubt your mother knowing nothing about snakes settled on those morphs with no input from you, especially considering what they're going for on Morphmarket right now. You need to do research and have enclosures set up and running in advance before bringing snakes home.

That ship has sailed now though, so all you can do is make corrections now. Your husbandry is why your snakes aren't eating, and until you correct the many issues visible in your pictures, I doubt they will eat for you. Not trying to be overly firm or mean or anything, I just want to be sure that our message is getting through to you.

The husbandry issues you're having aren't options, they're required items that you need to get taken care of. Separate the snakes into appropriate sized enclosures, get yourself some appropriate sized hides, proper equipment, get those temperature and humidity parameters in check, etc etc. It's going to take some time for those guys to settle in especially considering how they're kept right now.

they come out at dark and crawl all over the place and they have good looking tongues they are nice and pink.

Update I finally got both of them to eat of course I had to feed them live prey. But I am very happy that they ate today
