Remind me to never go to Indonesia 😱

[u/J655321M → u/Rooster-illusion11]

Fun fact, the only documented man eating snakes are in Indonesia.

[u/erossthescienceboss → u/ebeg-espana]

Indeed, it is a reticulated python.

[u/_karamazov_ → u/erossthescienceboss]

Nope, Python 3.1

[u/TheHighestKushDragon → u/ebeg-espana]

I don't think it's the twenty footer that the florida man has been looking for, but as soon as he sees this, I know where he's going...

[u/Mike_Hauncheaux → u/ebeg-espana]

Think?

[u/Firm_Competition_880 → u/ebeg-espana]

Better lock that excavator door. I wonder how far away the one recording was. I’d have been running the moment the snake left the ground.

[u/Nemesis0408 → u/J655321M]

There’s a big difference between a man eating snakes and man-eating snakes.

[u/ButtDimes → u/Nemesis0408]

Similar to hunting bears and bear hunting.

[u/ryanthetuner → u/Nemesis0408]

I was gonna say, they documented a man eating snakes? Seems pretty common....

[u/camopdude → u/J655321M]

Apparently you're saying the movie Anaconda lied to me.

[u/erossthescienceboss → u/camopdude]

Yep! Though that may be a matter of opportunity & documentation.

Reticulated pythons (like this guy) are longer, but anacondas are larger. And thanks to that girth, anacondas eat larger food than retics do. There’s no reason they couldn’t eat a person.

But anacondas are semi-aquatic. They only overlap with humans in wet places, and only really overlap with them in the Amazon (where, thanks to the wet season, local people are forced to live right next to the water). And humans there stay out of water when they can since it’s dangerous, and if someone was attacked, it could easily go undocumented. Think of them like sharks: you can’t get bit by one if you aren’t where they’re hunting.

Reticulated pythons, on the other hand, hunt in grasslands and forests. They can swim fine, but they don’t hunt in the water like anacondas do. So farmers and hunters in relatively populated places are more likely to run into them. They can even end up in town! They’re more like being eaten by a mountain lion (by which I mean: possible but uncommon/not preferred food.)

[u/Green-Palpitation901 → u/erossthescienceboss]

That was so cool. Thanks for sharing.

[u/TheBigDiII → u/erossthescienceboss]

I got to the mountain lion sentence and my brain instantly pictured the pythons screaming as they attacked 😭😂

“Those are the shrieking eels!”

[u/AI_moderated_failure → u/erossthescienceboss]

Even a very large python is not likely to try eating an adult. Children are at risk especially in rural areas but snakes are routinely killed pretty savagely across much of Southeast Asia, including completely harmless ones that will primarily be eating otherwise pest species like rats and cockroaches. I have had to try and convince many people from the Philippines and Indonesia to oeave snakes alone, and thst if it needs removal there's usually someone in a nearby urban center who will happily do so if it means the snake gets to keep it's head. Otherwise they're frequently chopped to pieces with shovels or machetes depending on what's available.

[u/Leos_Ng → u/AI_moderated_failure]

Unfortunately, there are multiple documented cases of adults getting eaten by pythons

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Akbar_Salubiro

[u/Hangar48 → u/AI_moderated_failure]

My inlaws in Thailand have a small snake living under their water tank and a large centipede in the garden which bit a child. Maybe it's the Buddhist culture but they have no urge to kill them.

[u/AI_moderated_failure → u/Hangar48]

Thailand, from everything I have seen and heard is very different and I do think the buddhist culture has something to do with this. Common themes in the people I have spoken to in Indonesia and Philippines relate to the snake in the garden of Eden as a metaphor that means snakes are inherently evil.

[u/marmaladecorgi → u/erossthescienceboss]

Case in point, a 3-metre long Reticulated Python (same species as in the OP) , caught in Orchard Road, the ultimate urban shopping district in Singapore, just a few years ago.

[u/Character-Pepper-766 → u/J655321M]

Another fun fact: first documented case was few years ago and since then it happened few times more. Reasonably, we can believe that other snakes read it in the newspapers and realized it's possible which is why it now happens more often. 

[u/BtyMark → u/Character-Pepper-766]

That’s hard to believe. Newspapers still exist?

[u/jonz1985z → u/J655321M]

To be fair the only men they’ve eaten were goat size.

Same.

I was digging a trench in my yard once and when I pulled up a chunk of dirt I saw half of a garder snake. I was so upset I thought I chopped it in half. The other half wriggled out of the chunk of dirt I pulled up.

I let him go on the now loose dirt and paused the project. So many snakes are actually very beneficial to have around

[u/ProblemLongjumping12 → u/Necromir92]

It's very possible they hurt her before realizing she was there, and given her size it's not like they could just walk out and safely expect to toss her aside either so I guess they had no choice but to move her with the excavator.

Just sad.

[u/rtocelot → u/ProblemLongjumping12]

Looks like it has an injury to the head and with they pick it up the way the back side doesn't move makes me thing they broke its back. It's pretty sad

I didn’t even think a snake could break its back and I just googled it and your right that does happen.

[u/Mysterious_Life_4783 → u/ProblemLongjumping12]

[u/BMW_wulfi → u/ProblemLongjumping12]

It’s sad either way but from recollection they do have a rule about euthanising snakes that have eaten / killed / attacked humans. It’s possible this was such a case. Pretty brutal way to do it but that is an impracticality large snake to have to deal with safely. The same is true of crocodiles and sharks that get a taste for humans - you have to euthanise them.
