Recently Indonesia has reported the second death of a person eaten by a Python this year. The latest incident involves a woman who was out attending to her garden and she never came back. Villagers did a search of the area only to find a huge 23 foot snake with a massive bulge in the body.
Can you imagine a worse way to die than to be strangled by a massive beast and then eaten head first? How horrible! I have never been to Indonesia but apparently large snakes are very prevalent in this area of the world. Research has shown that it is very uncommon for people to be eaten by snakes but, the fact this is a possibility would give me major pause to outdoor wilderness activities in Indonesia. These snakes eat the prey whole by having the unique ability to expand their jaws and bellies, it’s almost something you have to see with your own two eyes to believe.
I have friends who live in south Florida near the Everglades who say this is slowly become a major problem in that area as well. Pythons and large lizards are not native to the south Florida area but, so many large snakes have been spotted by residents that the city now is holding snake round ups. Professional snake hunters have been brought to America from areas like Indonesia to help solve this epidemic. The large snakes are raised by people as pets at home and when they become too large to deal with, they take them out to the Everglades and release them. The snakes in the wild eat pets, pigs, deer, rabbits and just about anything they can get their mouth around.
If you live near the area in Indonesia where this happens, please comment below and educate me on the level of alertness you need knowing these snakes are around. Also please let me know what your village does to help eliminate these beasts from eating people and their pets.

Florida is having a real problem with the infestation of Burmese pythons in the Everglades. They have killed a lot of the native mammals and vie with alligators as the top predators in the area. The winner of a fight between a python and alligator usually depends on which one is bigger. Professional snake hunters are hardly making a dent in the population of Burmese pythons. I hope there is a very serious freeze in South Florida that kills off most of the Burmese pythons, who are not suited for freezing weather.

OMG that would be a horrific way to die!!! I have heard of pythons being able to consume large animals all at once and expand their bellies like in the picture you have shown but to hear they took down a human. Wow!! I heard a story this year about a teacher who got himself into trouble for letting a python eat a puppy alive in front of his students. It must have been a sight. Watching a snake swallow and animal is crazy!

Saw a snake in my backyard...was going to remove it but it slithered to this section where I always see mice running around...decided to let him go along his way and hopefully pick up some mice in the process

Not a nice way to die for sure. I wonder if some of the pythons have decided that humans are a good meal? Not a good situation, for sure.

What a horrible and frightening scene...
But things like this are very very rare in Indonesia today ...
I'm from Indonesia and let me add a little information:
Indonesia is an archipelagic country ... There are five major islands: Java & Bali, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Borneo (Kalimantan), and Papua ...
Four of the five islands are now very modern, with many large cities in them...
Disasters like the above may occur in very remote areas, where there are still many natutal forests, valleys and lakes ...
And disaster like the above happen only in 10 or 15 years or more...
So little additional information from me, hope this additional info is useful and does not make all Steemian friends so afraid to come to Indonesia ... hehee ...😀
Have a great & lovely day, dear friend @broncnutz ...😀☕❤
