normally it stays like this for half hour or so after feeding but not a month :/
ive heard of snakes tearing the muscles around their jaws if they try to eat something too big for them
could be that.

Could be differant things but with this being a symptom of mouth rot I'd be enclined to get checked at a vet

Something stuck in it? My amel was pulling this face a while back, opened her gob up and found aspen in there. Goodness knows how it got in there!

But I'd err on the side of caution and do as A33272 says, and get her checked by the vet.
