Yawning..

i was holding my BP Slippy today and noticed he yawned about 3 or four times during the half an hour i was holding him today , should i be concerned about RI or is this normal?? I have seen him yawn before but i'm just a little nervous...

What is your husbandry set up like? Temps and Humidity?

humidity 55% temps are 88.5 hot side 80.5 cool side....

bump hot side to 91-94

he did not exhibit any of the other symptoms ...so im assuming hes good...

I wouldn't be too worried sometimes they get bored! just keep an eye out for other symptoms

mine does it ll the time

Mine yawns sometimes too. I've only caught him doing it a few times though.

Is your picture just not showing the hides? Suggesting to bump the heat up is a good one.

yeah its pritty normal

Nothing to be worried about as long as he isn't showing other symptoms. My BP yawns a decent amount also.

On a side note, Moriar, that is too cute of a photo.

Oh my that picture is impressive. I have never seen my bp yet do that!!! wow:gj:

yeah thats when i got him and he could fit in one hand. he is now 600 grams he was like 100+ then. and the chunky little chump hardly fits in two! he did have 2 hides in that tank one was out for the photo and other was on otherside out of frame. all my snakes are now in a rack.

my buddy got the shot on his fancy digital camera, the orginal pic is like 1280x1140 or some nonsense like that.


whats funny is how photogenic he was couple seconds after the yawn the went to grab a drink to wake him up
