Scared me to death, almost!

Anyone ever had there snake open it's mouth really wide, then start jerking it's head, mouth still open, as if it were possesed? Did it happen in your LAP! This happened yesterday. He did it for about 10 seconds, then slowly closed his mouth and laid back down. Sometimes he jerks his head a little, as if getting comfortable before resting but this was in my lap & showing me where food goes for an extended period. If you know what happened, or can recommend a good exorcist, please let me know. DZ

My guy often yawns (while in his cage) just when I am looking at him for an extended period. Its almost like he is trying to show me he is boss!
