Why is my yellow belly slider hatchling yawning under water?

i got my yellow belly on friday and since then ive caught him yawning a couple of times. He seems really healthy but not sure if turtles can actually yawn or not? . gratefull for any advice or information given :)

Answer #1

check the temp of the environment, it may be too cool. they should be 80 to 95 degrees F. If the temp is correct, they may need more protein in the diet.

Answer #2

my heater is 100 watt the temp is saying 80 but i hae it divided atm cuz baby turtle cnt go in with te big ones, can i put 2 heaters in? the water dont feel warm
