"They certainly can pack a huge force as they're constricting." "Big pythons are incredibly powerful animals with huge muscles to both move and eat and constrict," said Stephen Ressel, a professor at the College of Atlantic. From one or all of those reasons, he said, a person would quickly die. Then, Greene said, "literally within a few seconds," it would wrap its powerful coils around a person's body, cutting off blood circulation to the brain, blocking off airways and preventing the chest from expanding. On Thursday, CBS reported villagers said Akbar was attacked from behind. The python stealthily lies in wait along a game trail, edges of waterways or any other place where they would find unsuspecting prey. A startled snake could bite as a form of defense 2. Pythons bite first and would attack a human in two ways: 1. Pythons often eat primates, including monkeys, sometimes orangutans and, seldom, people. The Guinness World Records notes a reticulated python named Medusa, which lives in Kansas City, Mo., holds the title as the world's largest snake ever in captivity at over 25-feet long. Humans, unfortunately, fit into the general, mammal-heavy diet of the reticulated python, which can grow between 20 and 25 feet long. There are, he said, examples of people being eaten by reticulated pythons, particularly on Sulawesi, the island where 25-year-old Akbar Salubiro was eaten.
It's a rare occurrence for that part of the world, but not unheard of, Greene said. Such a nightmare occurred earlier this week, when a 23-foot reticulated python swallowed whole an Indonesian farmer. "It wouldn't take very long and it would be awful." "It would be extremely difficult for me to save my life without help," Greene said.
