I noticed that my pythons have a habit of rubbing their snouts in the cage's glass wall and newspaper floor everytime after a meal...is this normal? Can this be caused by something else rather than the one i am thinking? - python pleasure...thanks.

Ok. Yawning and the 'jaw rub' is 2 of, if not the only, ways of realigning their jaws. But they do not rub their jaw, the lower jaw especially...They are rubbing their upper nostrum...That could be the case though....Thanks man.

My retics tend to push alot when they are hungry. So could it be that the meal you are feeding is too small, and they want more? If thats not the case, then its probably what imride said, they are just getting their jaws back in place.
