Yes! Not sure why this is in "Sex," but anyway... a snake can unhinge its jaws in order to swallow things much larger than its own head! What a snake can swallow depends upon the size of the snake. A large constrictor such as those found along the Congo and Amazon rivers can swallow baby bison which is just as big as an adult man. There are many stories of young children being eaten by snakes and even snakes stealing babies from their cribs.

Check out the related link for a short set of photos from an incident in South America. A 14 year old was swallowed whole while sleeping next to his friends on a camping trip.

Yes, a recticulated python can swallow a person! The process takes quite some time, and it is hoped that the person is not awake during the swallowing process.

In most cases, no. Most snakes are far too small. However, a few species have been known to eat humans.

Yes, no. There have been cases when an anaconda has swallowed a small person whole. This doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
