An Indonesian mother has died after being swallowed whole by a 23-foot-long python.

The woman, Wa Tiba, 54, went missing while tending to her vegetable garden near her village on Muna Island in Southeast Sulawesi province on Thursday, according to the village chief, Faris.

When her family went to look for her, they found only her belongings in the garden, including her sandals, a machete and a flashlight.

The village subsequently launched a search for her but were horrified to find the python with a severely bloated belly just 50 yards from the garden.

Faris said the villagers killed the snake and when they cut open its belly, they found the woman's body still intact wearing all her clothes.

I'm really glad that the snake didn't make her disrobe before being devoured because that's so perverted, really. We should probably do something. Like build a 50-foot high python fence around the island. Pass some executive orders against snakes. Take to Twitter to condemn all slithery reptilians, including the swamp-dwelling kind. Play golf!

better is to give the snakes a path to inclusiveness...but you know what they say

Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
