I agree with the first response. You won't see them drink that much unless they're dehydrated. Make sure you provide correct humidity as well as water to drink.

The yawning is pretty common, though if it was dehydrated when you got it there is an increased chance that it could have an RI. If it was kept too dry, causing dehydration, then it could be assumed that it's other basic husbandry needs weren't being met. I'd keep an eye on it, but wouldn't worry too much unless you hear a wheezing noise.
