By Mirror UK. [This] is the petrifying moment a huge snake was pulled from a woman’s throat after it crawled inside her while she was sleeping.

She had fallen asleep in the garden of her home in Dagestan, Russia, and woke up to terrible pains in her stomach.

Little did she know at the time that the 4ft reptile had slithered inside her through her mouth.

Medics had no idea what had happened and she was put under general anaesthetic as doctors got down to work.

They only discovered what was wrong when they found the snake moving around – and eventually managed to prise it from her. (Read more from “WATCH: Doctors Pull Snake From Woman’s Mouth After Reptile Slithered Down Her Throat as She Slept” HERE)

Wild Video Shows Doctors Pulling Snake Out of Woman’s Throat

By New York Post. Terrifying footage captured the moment doctors pulled out a 4-foot-long snake from a Russian woman’s mouth after the serpent had slithered in while she slept outside, according to a report.

“Let’s see what this is,” a man is heard saying in the video as a clearly horrified doctor pulls out the cold-blooded creature from the woman’s body, the Sun reported.

It was unclear if the snake was alive or how long it had been inside her before she was rushed to the hospital after feeling unwell, according to the outlet, which noted that it could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.

Ranger Hoping to Get Selfie With Captured 35-Foot Python Gets Choked by Snake Instead

/0 Comments/in , , /by

(Editor’s note: in viewing the video below, the snake does not appear to be 35 feet long. But it’s big. Certainly too big to drape around your neck!)

By People. . .According to Caters News, ranger Sanjay Dutta and his team caught the massive snake after getting calls about the reptile killing and eating local goats. Dutta and his colleagues were able to track down the python, but instead of putting the snake in a sack to move it elsewhere, Dutta decided to wear the live animal like a feathered boa.

The ranger reportedly flung the python’s head over his shoulder and started taking photos with locals while wearing the snake.

Rock pythons are non-venomous, opting to kill their prey through constriction. It didn’t take long for the agitated snake resting on Dutta’s shoulders and around his neck to give into natural urges and start constricting around the man.

Video of the shocking incident shows Dutta change from smiling, proud ranger to panicked, choking snake victim in a matter of seconds. Footage shows Dutta staggering away from the group gathering to take photos of the reptile. Dutta is eventually helped by another man, who assists in pulling the powerful python off the ranger.

In Dutta’s description of the snake’s capture, he conveniently leaves the choking incident out. (Read more from “Ranger Hoping to Get Selfie With Captured 35-Foot Python Gets Choked by Snake Instead” HERE)

Python Swallows Villager… Again

By Mandatory. It was just one year ago we read about the pure terror of a full-grown, adult man being swallowed by a giant python in Indonesia. Over the weekend, we learned the real-life horror movie has a sequel. . .

This time the victim was a 54-year-old Indonesian woman named Wa Tiba. Worried about wild boars eating her crops, she ventured out to check her cornfield Thursday night. She never returned.

[via Washington Post]

It was 23 feet long and so bloated it could barely move. A long bulge midway down its body had a foreboding look to it.

The villagers killed the snake and laid it out on the ground. The villagers crowded around it, clamoring and crying, with some making videos as a man knelt and carefully cut across the bulge with a machete.

He parted the snake flesh, and the result was much as it had been on the other island a year earlier. Tiba lay intact inside the snake, clothed just as she had been when she went to check the corn.

How This 23-Foot Python Swallowed a Man Whole

/0 Comments/in , , /by

At first the video is blurry and difficult to make out. A bunch of men standing around a python begin slicing its belly down the middle. It soon becomes apparent that something of note is inside the giant snake, but it’s not immediately clear what has drawn so much attention.

Then you see it: An entire grown man, swallowed whole, lies dead inside the python.

According to local news reports, the body found inside the 23-foot-long snake turned out to be 25-year-old Akbar Salubiro, a harvester who worked on a palm oil plantation on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. He was reported missing on March 26 . . .

Similar to Burmese pythons, these huge snakes kill their prey before consuming it, making it unlikely Salubiro was eaten alive.

A 2015 study found that, contrary to popular belief, pythons and other constricting snakes such as boas and anacondas don’t suffocate their victims and instead kill by cutting off their blood flow, a method that ends life much more quickly.

Scientists in Italy Rediscover Snake That Was Used by Ancient Greeks as a Weapon of War

/2 Comments/in , /by

Scientists in Italy have rediscovered a type of snake that the ancient Greeks used to hurl at their enemies to create panic and confusion during sea battles.

The Javelin Sand Boa had not been officially recorded in Italy for 80 years, but sightings by locals suggested that it might still survive in a region of Sicily.

Snake experts decided to investigate and found the species, officially known as Eryx jaculus, living in an area of sand dunes and woodland around the resort town of Licata, on the island’s south coast.

They believe the snake may well have been introduced to Sicily in ancient times, when the island was colonised by the Greeks.

The area where it was found is close to the sites of two ancient battles, one in the fifth century BC and the other in the fourth century AD. (Read more from “Scientists in Italy Rediscover Snake That Was Used by Ancient Greeks as a Weapon of War” HERE)
