yawning is fine. Its very normal.
Do you take him out during the day a lot? Remember, they are primarily nocturnal. I suppose too much daytime activity could eventually tire them out some.
But, if you notice this yawning happening a lot (excessively) after eating, then check his enclosure for "throw up". Leos typically look like they are yawning just before they regurgitate, I think its what their gag reflex looks like. But that "yawning" (gag reflex) is excessive and will happen many many times in a row until they barf.
So if you havnt seen your leo regurgitate, and theres no evidence of it in his enclosure, then he is just yawning. And that is nothing to worry about. =]

It can be somewhat comical at times. Buffy was sleeping on a stone that sits over the warm spot, when she decided to get up it looked like she did a bit of a stretch, yawned, licked her lips and came over to the side of the tank as if to say "what's going on"

what does mine do? eat , sleep , trying to climb out of his/her enclosure and sometimes staring at me... have yet to see mine yawn .
Buffy is the same way, less the climbing out of her tank. She seems quite happy in her home, climbing all over the place.

mine seems to recently want to leave his.her cage a LOT and the Other one wants to be in cool hide and moist hides non stop? Could this be because the recent heat wave and humid wave?

Yeah I know what you mean Stevie yawns quite often (every 3 days ish) so I now keep my camera when I have her out especially when it is late.
