Missing mother found dead inside 16-foot-long python after it swallowed her whole in Indonesia
When villagers cut open the python's stomach, "Farida's head was immediately visible," an official said.
A woman has been found dead inside the belly of a snake after it swallowed her whole in central Indonesia, a local official said Saturday, marking at least the fifth person to be devoured by a python in the country since 2017.
The husband of 45-year-old Farida and residents of Kalempang village in South Sulawesi province discovered her on Friday inside the reticulated python, which measured around five meters (16 feet).
The mother-of-four had gone missing Thursday night and failed to return home, forcing a search effort, village head Suardi Rosi told AFP.
Fucking terrifying.
There would be a solid minute where you'd be fully aware that you have been consumed by a giant snake.
I believe prey are suffocated before the snake consumes them.
Everyone else already said you are constricted before swallowed, but even if you weren't, it would take the snake several minutes to even ingest you. It's a very slow process. There are tons of videos on YouTube of it.
right ok sounds like a much better way to go
16 foot. With that many feet, it's not a snake but a centipede imo.
Tarzan movies didn't lie to me after all!
No kidding! Consequently, I have decided to redouble my efforts to avoid quicksand
I have spent a disturbing amount of time trying to decide if it was necessary to clarify that she was found dead inside the python. I believe that, yes, it was. Make of that what you will.
Don't the crush and kill the pray before swallowing?
To my knowledge: they constrict, which could theoretically result in crushing, but typically the prey dies of suffocation or lack of circulation.
I was also under the impression that they weren't able to eat humans because our shoulders are so much wider than our heads, but that's clearly wrong so take that with salt.
Yes. I think you could say that that being found inside a python pretty much implies being found dead. (There is this one guy, though, but he failed to get himself eaten.)
However, I think it's just not sufficiently obvious to most people.
It'd be wild if they found her still alive in there.
Cool. New fear unlocked.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

Last year, residents in Southeast Sulawesi's Tinanggea district killed an eight-meter python, which was found strangling and eating one of the farmers in a village.
A six-minute video obtained by CBS News showed villagers slicing open the python's carcass to reveal the legs and torso of the dead victim, named Akbar.
The longest reticulated python ever found in the wild was discovered in 1912, according to the museum, and was measured to be nearly 33 feet long – "more than half the length of a bowling lane and makes this snake longer than a giraffe is tall."

Do Americans really consider this helpful information?
marking at least the fifth person to be devoured by a python in the country since 2017.
The Wikipedia page on reticulated pythons needs to be updated.
And there I thought the toilet python was bad.
How was theu able to fins her?
They inspected every snake with a hjman sized lump
I can see this as a Far Side comic.
