    When you say it's mouth is open, do you refer to the white strings coming out of the center? If that's what you are seeing, it's normal for this to happen. Most causes are from stress and movement. Mine do this all the time when I move them. Especially the big ones. A picture would help (and simply put, we all like threads with pictures) lol
