    Yep, everyone is cool with everyone else. I don't ever leave the snake unattended with the other animals, but the cat really doesn't care too much.

    Smaug's only yawned twice (barring the several times he did it to realign his jaw after feeding), but I thought it was cool/odd, so I was just curious.

    It's nice to see that the cat and the snake are cool with each other. I was holding one of my cats when he spotted Smaug moving around in his tank, and I still have scratches on my arm because poor Max jumped out of my arms and hit the floor running.

    all snakes gape to realign their jaws. <_< Though people say its not for a psychological reason I beg to differ. I have seen Cali do it when she feels relaxed or tired. She will "yawn" then rest her little head and for lack of a better term slither into slumber. I know that their subconscious is deeper than most give them credit for because I myself have made both my snakes yawn by yawning at one point or another!

    What they're doing is opening their mouth so that they can smell their surroundings more. It's the same curiosity that makes them stick out their tongue. Nothing weird about it.

    I just got my first bp last week Wednesday, and he yawned twice, while we were holding him the first 2 days. It kinda startled me at first, but it was so cute! Wish I could've had a camera ready :P

    Now you know: always have a camera ready! That's the second most important lesson of all.the first, of course, is to have a temp regulator on your UTH. :)

    hello! I know that post from six years ago but i was wondering what morph your snake was. I got my snake, Aaexa, from a reptile shop and they weren't 100% sure what she was. My Aaexa looks exactly like Bender thank you so much!
