People: How pythons kill

People magazine turned to a University of Cincinnati biologist to help explain the threat posed by large constricting snakes like the 22-foot-long reticulated python that killed and consumed a woman in Indonesia in October.

A search team found the woman's remains inside a snake on a rubber plantation where she worked.

Snake expert Bruce Jayne, a professor of biological sciences in UC's College of Arts and Sciences, told People magazine that big constricting snakes rarely prey on people, particularly adults.
