This snake was probably an anaconda or a big snake like this, and some snake have the possibility to dislocate the bones in their mouth to eat animal or other kind of thing bigger than them in one piece. Ive already saw a video of a snake eating an orignal in one piece
If I found the video again, I will put it here

eeew

It's like an animal sarcophagus.

Imagine DIGESTING that?

i couldn't

When hide and go seek goes terribly wrong...

Pretty gross ey. That person must have been smaller than the alligator in the Everglades that was eaten by a python.
Split that snake wide open.

Actually it is a reticulated python, I had one like it for many years, only not as big, and it mostly ate cats which were free (road kills, of course).

The fools who killed this one probably had no idea a snake like that alive would probably be worth more that the gross annual income of everyone in their stinking village. The largest recorded example was 33 feet long and it is possible that one could have become the new world's record. That, plus the fact it ate somebody would have made it extremely valuable if captured alive.

And no, the "everglades python" did not "explode". That story was written by an idiot, and more idiots gobbled it up. The simple truth of the matter is that some redneck fisherman killed it to see what it had swallowed, cut it open, exposing the gator, and then neatly cut the head off for a "trophy". That's it.... end of story...... no exploding pythons... sorry.

It is amazing how something so mundane and obvious can be blown up into such nonsense by ignorant people.

Oh wait, "the aliens" got tired of collecting cow genitalia and eyeballs and are now starting to collect snake heads to make extraterrestrial beer can holders.

Agreed...Those people are South Asian...The only large snake there is the reticulated. They have no right to kill that beautiful animal.

If that snakes eats someone I know Im takeing it's head!!

Is that guy in the snake still alive or dead?

well frogfish, if it killed one of their love ones or friends you can't blame them for killing it.

That guy dead of course.

And he needed to be buried properly, not left rotten in the phyton. What would you do if the guy is your loved one?

i agree with DC to many damn humans anyways

Ok thats just sick.....

i agree with you...

probably

i'm sure its a dead guy...

It’s a gross fact; some people will pay more for a man eater. Sad, but true!

The guy's head looks malformed.

Is there any story behind the photos?

Poor thing got its stomach slit open....Not like it was going to become a man-eater like tigers do. Snakes don't aquire a taste for humans unlike tigers.

Frogfish did you see that show about killer tigers in india on the animal planet?
I thought it was interesting.

Wrong, Kouri
That python is nearly three times as big as the one in Florida, and like I said before, the snake did not "explode". It was killed by a human who cut it open to see what it ate, and cut the head off with a knife for a souvenier.

And then the idiot press made their own speculations about "exploding pythons", too stupid to realize someone had cut it open, and cut off the head with a sharp knife.

As for killing the man-eating reticulated python, they don't have "life insurance policies" in third world rain forest villages. The family of that man have nothing now. If the live snake was sold for $100,000.00 (for the very reason it was a documented maneater and make a great tourist attraction at a Las Vegas casino), at least something good would have come out of the tragedy.

No, but I lived there My grandparents live in a village...they say they deal with tigers and wolves all the time.

My other grandparents are safe in South India.

You lived in India!

That is so awesome. Are you Indian?

Yes, South Indian...Tamil.

That's gross! Where I come from the only good snake is a dead one.

WOW I saw your name and thought it was gonna be some pervy sexual thread...god can't you tell I'm a teenager

Aussie's don't think like that...they LOVE snakes.

Oh my god that is the most sickest thing i ever saw in my life.

Very 'subtle' description of the press and people with this story. I trust no board members are intended to be in your line of fire there.

One thing, better let the news people know it did not burst, these very reputable mobs are still sporting that story. As Oz is a fair hop from the Everglades, we don't get amended atricles on stories local to that area. This is not ignorance, it is the media letting us down again. Bit of PITA to ammend an old story, so bugger it. Shame. It wasn't a mundane story when the media had finished with it.

Very interesting that a human carcass inside a reptile makes the reptile more valuable.
Some people are just sick in the head aren't they. How disgustlingly morbid.

Do you actually want to know how you guys sound like? Naaah, I'm not sure you would like to. A man is lying dead there in a snake's stomach and all you can think of is some gross annual income. I personally stand up for animals all the time but what your posts reflect is absolutely appalling.

What if the person lying dead inside the snake's stomach is one of your close ones? Wouldn't you at least want to recover the body of the dead person and give him a decent funeral? Beautiful animal! Christ, some people!

I wouldn't...There is no justification for killing that animal...Tigers are killed all the time in North India because they are suspected to kill people...more than half are innocent.

k.

But what about this particular snake? Seems a bit on the guilty side, what with, you know, that corpse inside it's belly. Not that the animal kingdom should be subjected to our 'guilty' and 'innocent' charges.

But we're the top of the food chain, therefore it needed to be sliced open, for the family's sake.

Its the child's fault for getting near the python and playing with it...Its hard to make a python angry.

i stand corrected...thanks though..

*sarcastically* Oh yeah, we loooooove snakes, especially when they hibernate in your dishwasher and use your benchtop as their personal sun tanning spot If I EVER come across a snake I'm calling my buddy Winchester.

My snake thats were he's been..... ARR they killed him

It's disgusting to see, and I could care less about the snake. I feel very bad for the person who died in it. It wasn't a slow death, I can tell you that.

He was aspyxiated. So he didn't die with too much pain...

poor guy...

I don't know what to say. That must of been one pretty hungry snake to eat someone of that size and pretty pissed off as well.

Poor guy, poor snake. The guy yeah might not of been his fault he ended up in the stomach of it, but the snake should it of been killed or whatever no it was only eating to survive.

Actually, it wouldn't have been necessary to kill the snake to recover the body. Once captured and jostled around, snakes with large meals will virtually always regurgitate them, because they are in so helpless a state with such a heavy meal.

It would also be possible to squeeze the body out of the digestive tract if the snake was reluctant to do so, an action easily accomplished with a dozen or so strong men.

In fact, I have little doubt the villagers realized what idiots they were to have killed such a valuable animal, but after it was already dead, and worth only a fraction now than what it would have been alive. A case in point is the true story of a smaller snake of the same species, but still impressively large caught in the same region. It is now a popular tourist attraction bringing a great deal of income to the village that owns it. And this one never even ate a person, but people come to see it being fed live dogs. It was in all the papers, some of you must have seen the story.

To obtain "revenge" on an animal that has no concept of human notions of "good" and "evil" is a pointless enterprise.

Ugh that's so sick.

Many snakes do that, especially when they are in the middle of eating. They want to free their mouth, so they regurgitate the food so they can defend or strike.

Incidentally, there is a show being commonly shown on National Geographic now called "Supernake" and discusses another Reiculated Python that was killed in the act of swallowing an adult human. Nice CGI to show how they swallow such large prey, and photos of the dead guy with his head swallowed.

All the snake wanted was a manwitch.

Looks like the snake fancied a Chinese takeaway…

Don't you mean a Philippine takeaway?
