Rare
Reticulated Pythons typically feed on smaller mammals. Such as birds, rodents and chickens. Moreover attacks on humans are reported to be as “rare as winning the lottery and being struck by lightning at the same time”, according to a report by the Washington Post. There have only been nine reported cases of attacks on humans, but that’s nine too many for us. And yes, the June 2018 attack on Wa Tiba is included in that count.
The Same
Even with such statistics, last year a 25 year old farmer from an adjacent island (Salubiro on the island of Sulawesi) was found inside of a 23-foot-long python after he went missing. The entire incident was captured in a gruesome YouTube video.
