    Yes they do, they usually do it after eating to realign their jaws especially.

    But I have seen mine yawn at times, not after eating.. So who knows?


    sure is cute though

    They do it to realign their jaws after eating. They also sometimes do it when feeling a bit stressed. And they may sometimes just randomly yawn...of that, I'm not sure. If you see a LOT of yawning though, you should try to find out why, as that could be a sign of serious stress or illness.

    He's also rubbig his head around on his climbing stick, does that mean he's going to shed soon?

    Don't know if it's true or not - but I've not observed that with mine.

    Definitely. I was holding our bigger female a few nights ago and I saw her start to open her mouth and she yawned! It's pretty awesome to see it happen ... at least I think so :cool:

    He is a great eater. No problems so far. Just started feeding hoppers by tongs.

    as long a it's not too often it should be fine

    mines always yawn after a meal

    once my sister was holding hers, and he yawned, and she screamed... it was quite hilarious
