yawning

Yes and yes.

Of course you see them open wide after eating sometimes. Have to put that lower jaw back where it belongs;)

Our carpet python yawns big after he's been asleep:D
 
i've seen my ball yawn before, but never my corn. I'm assuming they do tho, other than to just reset their jaws.
 
my friends snake took a really long drink, did a really big yawn, then all the water she had drank dribbled back out onto him lol
 
my old rat snake used to yawn all the time lol i used to make yawning sounds when i saw it doing it lol.

my corn snake never seen it drink once or not even yawn :\ weird :(
 
Mine does too, after it eats and after it wakes up. Well only sometimes after it eats. I agree with everyone on the thread, they are probably reseting their jaws.
 
I've seen my corns, hatchling and adults, yawn randomly at nighttime around when they first come out for the night. Nearly all of them do a post-eating yawn-adjustment AND something no one has mentioned yet, I've see yawns initiate shedding in my adults. Many times the lower jaw seems to be the first to go and a good yawn appears to help those first few scales get the ball rolling.

All of my corns, my one ball and one Green Tree Python ALL yawn randomly (and somewhat rarely but I watch a lot so I see a lot). It's always a sight to behold between the cute teeth and awesome air tube at the bottom of their mouth.
 
I must be lucky.

I have seem both my corns yawn. The other day i was getting some pinkies and the burmese python that is next to the cheak out stand yawned. I was in awww. I think it wanted to eat me. :eats02: J/K LOL.

Yawning after a drink

Yesterday I adopted a 5-month old CB Cornsnake (my 1st snake since an Eastern Garter that I WC when I was 10 or 11 yr old). I'm gonna guess and say 'her' until I know better. Not named as yet.

Anyway, I put her in her 20L aquarium with a BIG water dish, because I want her to have plenty. And she could truly swim in this dish.

SO I go in this AM to find the whole floor of the 20L wet (not damp, wet)... AND an area of the TOP of the Spanish Moss I'm using for hideouts/groundcover was wet. Wet spot was about an inch-and-a-half circle, four times the diameter of my cornsnake.

The wet floor has to be something tipping the water dish (should not be possible, this thing is heavy even to me). However the wet spot in the moss starts like 2 or 3 inches off the floor, so the only cause I can imagine is regurgitation.

Maybe I'll name her 'Mystery'...
