A mother of two has been found dead after being eaten by a giant python, with her head smashed in its belly. The incident happened in Indonesia’s Southeast Sulawesi island. Wa Tiba, 54, went missing on Thursday evening after she was last seen with her gardening tools. Her children later discovered her belongings in ruffled bushes. The snake was reportedly eight metres long, and had killed the 54-year-old housewife head-first.

Gypsy was eaten by a snake
The story of Gypsy, an eight-foot-six-inch albino Burmese python, is a horrific one. It slithered out of its aquarium five times in just four weeks, wrapped itself around a toddler’s neck, and then stabbed the child to death. Although she had been housed in an aquarium covered with a safety-pinned quilt, the snake was incredibly dangerous.
The tragedy occurred in Delta, B.C., when 2-year-old Shaianna Rosa Hare was killed by a python. Her mother and live-in boyfriend were convicted and sentenced to 12 years in prison. Since then, Gypsy has lived in the snake house at Camp Rudder and will be used in swamp training to help people identify poisonous snakes.
Wa Tiba was eaten by a python
Wa Tiba’s family became worried when she did not return home, so they went looking for her. They found some of her items on the ground, including slippers, a machete, and footprints. They also discovered a giant snake lying on the ground 30 metres away. Local people helped them to identify the snake, which was a python. Locals then killed the snake and dissected the body. They found Tiba’s body inside the snake. The story has since gained international attention.
Wa Tiba, 54, had gone out with a flashlight to check her vegetable garden in a rocky area on the island of Muna. The snake was a massive seven-metre-long snake. The snake was bloated and barely able to move. It swallowed the woman head first.
Pythons kill by suffocation
Pythons are a very dangerous animal. They are capable of killing humans within two minutes of contact. They usually attack in ambush and squeeze the victim tight. Then they suffocate the victim by suffocation or cardiac arrest. When they have suffocated the victim, they simply swallow it whole. Pythons’ jaws are connected by flexible ligaments and their jaws are very powerful.
Pythons feed in a similar manner to a lion’s pride. They wrap their bodies tightly around their prey, constricting them so that they can suffocate their prey and minimize the stress on themselves. They can feed on lizards, birds, mammals, and rodents. A rock python has even been found with a small leopard. When a python catches a human, it may try to grab it by the lower jaw.
Pythons attack in an ambush
A video of a python attacking a deer in India has been circulating on the internet. The footage was taken in Maharashtra and has left many shocked. The video was posted by IFS officer Susanta Nanda on Twitter. The video clearly shows how a python can kill its prey in less than 50 milliseconds. This is a remarkably short time in which humans blink an eye, so this attack was especially terrifying.
Pythons are very powerful and large snakes that can reach ten meters in length. When a python attacks a human, it usually does so in an ambush, and then squeezes the victim. Then, the snake will swallow its victim whole, killing them by cardiac arrest or suffocation. The jaws of a python are linked by flexible ligaments.
Pythons have a broad diet
Pythons have a very diverse diet. They may eat rodents, birds, and lizards, but they may also eat smaller mammals. Their natural habitats include rainforests, grassland, swamps, and woodlands. Their bodies are large and they can hold on to branches.
Pythons eat a variety of prey including rats, rabbits, alligators, and white-tailed deer. Their larger body size means that they can exploit a broader range of prey than other snakes. This also helps them stay off the menu of predators.
Pythons have very broad diets and can survive in many habitats. They have been known to eat human feces, fish, insects, and even small mammals. They have super-stretchy skin between their jaws, which helps them swallow larger prey. They can grow up to eighteen feet (five meters) long and weigh more than 200 pounds.
