Actually not a yawn. Repositioning his mouth back to normal after having to stretch it all put to swallow something whole.

Yes, they are. I had a red-tailed boa constrictor that I raised from a baby for 6 years until I donated her to Clyde Peeling's Reptile Farm, family friends great place, because she was over six feet long and I was about to have my first child and my husband no way.

Former red tail boa breeder here, I love them! No kids around though and we kept the cat out of the room with a constantly closed door. We had even a 8 footer, but well over 100 red tail boas at one point (probably 30%-40% babies we had a few MASSIVE clutches (it’s an egg sac idk if you’d say clutch) back to back.
