    Yawning

    My BP’s lights have not long went off for the night and with that my BP (Syd) has risen for the night, not long after he yawned three times, about one minute between each.
    Yawns lasted about two to four seconds
    Is this because he’s tired? even though he’s slept throughout the day.
    He shed last week. Is due a feed, will be tomorrow.
    I know to keep an eye on the yawning incase there’s popping/wheezing, mucus.
    None there.

    As cletus said...snakes re-align their jaws...mostly after they eat but can do that anytime...not to worry.

    And I can't speak for snakes on this, but other species are also thought to yawn to take in more oxygen for an energy boost.

    Yawns are perfectly fine. Nothing to worry about
