| the pics are definatley a hoax and have been around for a while. The sanke could not eat a person feet first as there is no real chance of getting both feet tightly together to get started. It would have started on one foot and then got stuck wehn it got up tot he groin.
Even if it did the impossible and started on both feet simultaneously the guys arms would be stretched upward , above the head, due to the swallowing process, wich they are not.
In Fact there is no way to swallow a person and end up with the person arms in that position.
Therer are also legititamte pics of a malaysian retic attempting to swallow a rubber plantation worker. In those pics the snake has the head swallowed and got stuck on theshoulders. The pics are genuine and the snake was killed, and the mans body retrieved.
