    question about after feeding.

    I got a ball python a few days ago. I went to feed it and without hesitation scarfed down the rat. But my question is after it ate it looked like it was stretching and moving around its mouth and head. I heard they yawned but I never heard about them doing this. Should I be concerned?

    This is completley normal. The snake was realigning it's jaws after eating.
