Default Yawning Leo

Ok bit of a daft question for you all, watching my baby Leo (Humbug) and noticed him yawning. Now is that yawning or is it something to do with him just eaten half hour before hand.

I know with both my Hawks after they have eaten, they sit there and adjust the food in there crops by opening there mouths etc.

Nothing to do with him, just a kind of warning If they feel themselves in danger.

I've seen my Leo Brie wake up from a good sleep and yawn! I wasn't near her viv and viewed her for a distant so I don't think she felt threatened??

Dont think its a danger response to be honest. They tend it exhibit it in a very similiar manner to humans such as waking etc. Where did you hear/read it was about this? If it is true would love to read the article/book.

If Scylla yawns it can make me yawn as well, rather amusingly.
