After Eating

[mlw50]

I just got this gecko recently, it's a juvenile super snow and it is eating well. Like upwars of 15 mealworms a day. After eating, it appears to "yawn", but I suspect geckos don't actually yawn, so what does this mean?

I think he's just readjusting his jaw, or making it easier to swallow?

Ya I suspected it wasn't anything major, I just wanted to make sure as she just started doing it a few days ago.

I have seen a bunch of geckos.. "yawn" I don't think it means anything..

My geckos would yawn whenever they ate like little piggies. I think because their stomachs can only hold so much that towards the end it helps them to swallow more completely. Imagine how a snake swallows its food - by yawning!
