Damn, I missed the “by a” and thought a woman swallowed a python and thought, “fuck yeah, see how you like it, you bastard!”

Need my coffee.

I’d have 3 nickels which isn’t a lot but weird that it happened three times.

Dumb question but the snake kills the person before swallowing them right?

The snake usually constricts the person or animal until they die by suffocation, due to an inability to expand the lungs. There have been cases where they eat living creatures, including people, but suffocation is pretty guaranteed once they swallow the head.

What a shitty way to go, if you’re not quite dead before it decides to swallow you 😫

Luckily constricting snakes can feel you gasping for air. It makes them constrict even more. The use to much energy to not fully kill its prey.

Yes, they constrict their victims until they die of asphyxiation, then they swallow them head first.

When I was growing up in Jakarta, they found two enormous pythons in the culvert right next to the elementary school. They sacrificed a goat to lure them out, then when they were dated they just packed them up and took them to a local safari park. The smaller one was about 21 feet long, while the bigger one was 24 or 25. Just huge.

Thoar’s a very calculated and mature response to something that could literally eat you children

They found kraits in culverts next to the kindergarten the next year. They just killed those.

On a side note, mosquitos can literally eat your children too. Pineapple too.
