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.
There would be a solid minute where you’d be fully aware that you have been consumed by a giant snake.
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.
Pythons normally constrict their prey before consuming it.
right ok sounds like a much better way to go
I believe prey are suffocated before the snake consumes them.

More likely that the giant snake is in a coil around you and with every breath you exhale, you realize that you can’t inhale back in. This goes on until you lose consciousness due to asphyxiation. You won’t be awake or perhaps even alive by the time the snake decides to start swallowing you.
Snakes don’t suffocate prey by stopping their breathing, they stop the blood flow to the brain. A retic can kill a person without even trying, that much muscle around your neck might leave you a few seconds before you’re unconscious.
