Show me them snake yawns
I was looking at snake pictures today and just found the ones with snakes yawning are just so adorable. So why not start a thread about it? Post your pictures of your snakes yawning. It's hard to actually capture a snake yawning on camera but when you do it's the best thing ever. I was so happy when I got Crowley yawning. I kinda learned when he'd yawn, he'd roam around doing his missions then suddenly stop moving, when he does this he usually yawns like 10 seconds after stopping then continues, so cute. It happens so rarely but I was lucky I got it on camera. So if you were lucky enough to snap a picture of your snake(s) yawning post em here.
Here is Crowley yawning, this was taken a few years ago and I have yet to get him yawning on camera again.

Re: Show me them snake yawns
This one was a complete accident. He was laying out in the open, looking cute, so I took a picture. Only he had yawned as I clicked to take it, lol.

pretends2bnormal, yours looks like he's trying to talk!?
I've always loved snake yawns too, & my favorite yawns came from the rattlesnakes that I used to keep. I don't have photos so I'll have to describe them so
you understand why: when they yawn, they often stretch each side of their jaws one at a time...they stretch their fangs the way we might stretch our arms.
(I know, that probably sounds nightmarish, but rattlesnakes, like other snakes, are not out to "get" us...they're just trying to survive, one day at a time, and
their ONLY means of self-defense & catching food is their venom. Venom is actually like a concentrated version of our saliva- it starts their digestive process
after it immobilizes their prey. Dangerous yes, but not "evil".)

Big yawn from my 8' boa, photo from 9 years ago (RIP Autumn).
I had a co-worker and her niece over at the time, showing the reptiles, and they were very impressed by the yawn (my co-worker took this pic)

Re: Show me them snake yawns
Crowley has such huge, adorable yawns! It's pretty funny how small his body looks compared to that huge, gaping mouth in the photo and the video. Very cute that he likes to hang out on your keyboard too.

Wow that's really cute actually, I never realized they stretched their fangs. I've seen a few rattlesnakes yawn on Youtube and I'm always amazed that they can even fit their fangs in their mouth, they look huge.

Such a big yawn! This is a great pic for studying the anatomy of a boa mouth, you can see all the rows of teeth.
Here is my Noodle, I was trying to take a video of his reaction to seeing his own reflection and he yawned. I've noticed he tends to do that when he's nervous so I guess he didn't like his reflection very much.

And btw, rattlesnake's fangs fold up into the roof of their mouths, that's how they fit. They also have replacement fangs whenever they shed their fangs.
LOL it sure does! There is only enough room in this world for one Noodle
I had no idea that they shed their fangs (makes sense now that I think about it though). That is so cool, do the old fangs just fall out like shed does? It's really amazing you had the opportunity to keep rattlesnakes and learn so much about them. Truly something that not many people in the world will ever experience.

I love the awesome mirror shot of that yawn. Fanged snakes will grow out new fangs then shed out the old ones so it is possible to see snakes with 4 fangs at a time.
Not my snake, just found the picture on google to show you:
