JAKARTA, INDONESIA (CBS) - A 23-foot-long python has swallowed a woman in central Indonesia, a village official said Saturday.
The victim, 54-year-old Wa Tiba, went missing while checking her vegetable garden near her village on Muna island in Southeast Sulawesi province on Thursday evening, according to the village chief, Faris.
On Friday, her family went to look for her at the garden but found only her belongings, including sandals and a flashlight, said Faris, who uses a single name.
The family and villagers launched a search for the woman, and found the snake with a bloated belly about 50 yards from where her belongings were found.
The villagers killed the snake and carried it to the village.
"When they cut open the snake's belly they found Tiba's body still intact with all her clothes," Faris said. "She was swallowed first from her head."
Videos posted on some websites showed villagers slicing open the python's carcass to reveal the woman's body.
Faris said the victim's garden, about half a mile from her house, is located in a rocky area with caves and cliffs believed to contain many snakes.
Reticulated pythons, which are widespread in Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia, grab onto their prey with dozens of sharp curved teeth and then squeeze it to death before swallowing it whole.
Reports of humans being killed by pythons are extremely rare. In the wild they are known to eat monkeys, pigs and other mammals.

She couldn't have been eaten alive.

Tough snakes them pythons and every year since I've had internet a snake 23' or 26' or 27' long eats some villager. a boy, a girl, a woman, a drunk man: fact the on;y recollection of ever seeing/hearing about Jakarta is when the snake eats another.
