Open mouth

My olive is about 4 months old now and noticed today that she seems to be yawning a lot any help or ideas would be great thanks all

when did you feed her last? they often 'yawn ' to re adjust their jaw after feeding ..or it could be due to her giving herself a wack and trying to re adjust ...

can you hear any funny noises coming from her?

 

[snakeman23]

She fed about 5 days ago their is no noise when she does it

possibly old wives tale, but does she have good ventillation? do you handle her? and if yes, does she do it when she is out of her enclosure? i heard yonks and yonks and yonks ago that snakes yawn for a similar reason to ppl, which is to do with the balance of oxygen to carbon dioxide and the movement of air. please someone correct me on this if i am in the wrong ball park i hate basing care on speculation.

Yeah she done it in the enclosur and out while she was being handled
