    Yes they do, they usually do it after eating to realign their jaws especially.

    But I have seen mine yawn at times, not after eating.. So who knows?

    They do it to realign their jaws after eating. They also sometimes do it when feeling a bit stressed. And they may sometimes just randomly yawn...of that, I'm not sure. If you see a LOT of yawning though, you should try to find out why, as that could be a sign of serious stress or illness.

    Re: Yawning??

    He's also rubbig his head around on his climbing stick, does that mean he's going to shed soon?

    Don't know if it's true or not - but I've not observed that with mine.

    Definitely. I was holding our bigger female a few nights ago and I saw her start to open her mouth and she yawned! It's pretty awesome to see it happen ... at least I think so
