    They DO yawn. It's perfectly normal

    If your snake is active and doing a lot of tongue flicking that usually means things are pretty good.

    That's normal, yawning is nothing to be worried about.

    Unless it's not yawning but instead is gaping with labored breathing.

    They weren't yawning Steve. They were laughing at you.
