A viral tale claims hikers in Southeast Asia found a woman alive inside a giant snake, allegedly part of a ritual. However, no credible evidence supports this story—there are no verified sources, names, or dates. Scientifically, survival inside a snake is impossible due to lack of oxygen and highly acidic stomach conditions.

While large snakes like reticulated pythons can swallow big prey, humans have only ever been found deceased after such rare incidents.

Instead of sensationalism, we should focus on real conservation issues and understand reptiles through science, not fear.Open below
