[fc0330]

i have a beautiful 1 1/2 yr old female creamsicle. she ate 2 mice yesterday. i noticed she occasionally breathes alittle heavier and she opens her mouth as if she is yawning. what does this mean??????

[V.F.T.]

is she yawning? or does she keep her mouth open for long periods of time?

[fc0330]

no not for long periods of time. do cornsnakes yawn ?????????

[V.F.T.]

yes they do, so you might not have a problem after all :cheers:

Yeah snakes yawn. Though if they do that immidiately after swallowing prey it's to put the lower jaw back into it's proper place. It's fun to watch. I've tried taking pictures but it happens to fast.

hiya :wavey:

:) I thought my corn was burping when he did that after a meal as s/he does it a few times and various amounts. hihihi!

thank you

I think Jicin is correct in thinking it's a jaw reset after feeding.
