DO tortoises yawn ?

I have seen all 3 of mine do it at one time or another. Very cute and I never have a camera handy.

Yes they do. Dale hasn't done it in a while at least not in front of me, but I've seen him do it especially after his late night parties.

Candy, maybe "Dale the party tortoise" has just gotten better at hiding the signs of his parties. (The kids learned to empty the trash before I got home)

I see my redfoot yawn once or twice ever day (usually after waking up and during relaxing). Very cute.

Gordo and Twitch yawn after they bask after eating. It is so cute, I think it is contagious for torts too, because as soon as one yawns the other does as well.
