Yes they do yawn. I don't know if its a yawn like we experience. You have no idea just how big their mouth really is till they do it.

Yawning is one of my favorite ig behaviors to observe. ;D My other lizards do it also, as did our snake. Too cute!

I love watching Don yawn its so cute! You can see right down his throat and all his evil little teeth. They've got such huge mouths I dont know where they fit their brain!!
Its good when my snake does it too, and she re-aligns her jaw after feeding. They have 'flip top' heads lol!

We're always waking Bailey up from a nap to play with him (at least we did before he turned into the evil lizard from hell), so we see him yawn quite frequently. I swear, if you position yourself just right - in front of the ig - and if you could get the ig to (pardon me) fart and yawn at the same time - I'll bet you could see right through! --Roc

They sure do! The first time I heard Zok do it she was sitting on my shoulder. I was looking arround trying to figure out where that pffffffffft noise came from.

Yeah Im pretty sure Don actually holds it in until hes on my shoulder and I happen to look round lol! He also does it in the bath! Has anyone else noticed that look they do too, kind of cheeky but a bit embarrassed! He does it if hes fallen off a branch too, if hes attempted a jump thats a bit beyond his climbing skills, and he looks round to see if anyone noticed!

Wow Roc!!! Bailey looks so much like Hercules. I noticed that the first time I saw pictures of Herc. In fact, your avatar photo looks so much like one I have of Bailey and Mary that every time I see it I wonder if I'm a split-personality! You're not really me, are you? ;-) Oh, not to hijack anyone's thread, but we should be taking on a rescue later today. Someone here in town has a large collection of reptiles and is, for unknown reasons, giving them all away. A lady where my mother-in-law works took an adult iguana ... then freaked out when I sent her an iggie care sheet. She's realized she can't keep the ig, yet she doesn't want to give it back (or can't give it back) because the original owners weren't taking proper care of it, either (wire mesh cage with openings just large enough for the ig to attempt self-decapitation). Now, this lady's mother went into the emergency room last night, so I don't know exactly when we are gonna pick up the rescue ig, nor do I know anything about it... only that it hasn't tried to bite anyone yet. Keep your fingers crossed for us! --Roc

Good job for helping to save the life of another ig. ;D Oh, and to contribute my answer to the "Do igs fart?" question. Mine sure do, sometimes it even comes out as a high-pitched squeak. They always seem to close there eyes and "smile" when they do it too, as if it makes them feel better. LOL!
