Scrub pythons, a common inhabitant of Northern Queensland, can grow up to eight meters long and often consume small animals, particular wallabies.
There have been several other cases of scrub pythons targeting wallabies in Northern Queensland in 2019 with video footage showing a scrub python in attack mode.
Rolly Burrell from Snake Catchers Adelaide told the ABC it wasn't that unusual for the snakes to target such animals.
'They actually break away their , their jaw completely dislocates, it's really quite unique,' he said.
'After they've eaten something that size they have to curl up somewhere and digest it.
'Some of them even die, if they eat a prey that's too big, the animal inside bloats up to a massive size and they could die.'
