Yes. Humans have been swallowed by snakes before. Its just hard to find pictures because who would want to record such a thing? A large snake CAN swallow an adult human depending on their size and the size of the snake. While the shoulders would get in the way. If the person is small enough it won't matter then the rest is easy.

How long does it take a snake to eat a mouse?

To swallow - a couple of minutes. To digest - about a week. Depends on how big the mouse is compared to the snake. A small meal could be swallowed in under a minute and take a day to digest. Average-sized meals can take 10-30 minutes to swallow and take 3-7 days to digest. A very large meal could even take a few hours to swallow and take several weeks to digest.

How does snakes take its food more details?

Snakes swallow their food whole - Take as an example a corn snake swallowing a mouse... The snake finds the mouse's head, opens it's mouth and grabs the mouse's nose. It pushes forward, stretching its jaws as it goes, until the head of the mouse is in the snakes mouth. Once the mouse's head is in the snakes throat, it's muscles grip the mouse preventing it from sliding backwards, while the snake 'walks' its jaws forward over the mouse's body. This process is repeated until the whole mouse is in the snakes throat, then muscles contract and push the mouse down to the snakes stomach.
