This python has started swallowing an alligator, and the entire animal is virtually within the snake’s stomach. It will take some time for the snake to digest the alligator once it has swallowed it.

You can see the clip from different angles as the python rolls over and eats his prey. A small crocodile is no match for this large albino python, and you can see the snake crushing the small reptile as it struggles to free itself.

Once the snake swallows the crocodile, it must digest the large prey which takes several hours. The python is extremely vulnerable during this period. Eventually, the snake’s digestive fluids will break down every part of the ingested crocodile. In this video, a giant python swallows a crocodile half as big as itself, and you can see how big the snake’s body becomes, once the reptile has been swallowed whole.
