BP yawns have always intrigued me. I'm aware of the RI aspect of them, and this is priority check one when I see any of mine yawn.
But I feel I've also noticed some yawn.... 'patterns'.
For example, my eldest male is bit of a shy eater, so it's rare to catch him yawning just after a meal as is a common time to see a BP yawn, but when you do catch him yawn, it'll generally be that one yawn and that's that.
My eldest female, also arguably my best eater (as it stands), when she displays a yawn, I can almost be certain it will be followed by a few more (unless you've just caught her final yawn, that is). Her yawns almost seem longer lasting than any other of the BP's yawns too and I always try to use the opportunities to inspect for anything that looks 'off'.
It's interesting to read in this thread that they can do it for a better sniff of food and that fits in with what may be the habit my the oldest female here as she does act like bit of a starver quite often!
I've found this thread interesting, thank you for raising it.
And to echo what everyone is suggesting, your little guy sounds like he's doing all the snake stuff he should, so unless there is anything that just doesn't seem right, just enjoy learning about him.
