*In October 2022, a 52-year-old woman in Terjun Gajah village, Betara Subdistrict, [[West Tanjung Jabung Regency]], Jambi, Indonesia, was killed and swallowed whole by a {{cvt|6|m}} reticulated python. She went to tap rubber sap on 23 October 2022 and did not return home after sunset. After she was reported missing for a day and a night, a search party discovered a large python with a bulge in its body in a jungle near the rubber plantation. The villagers immediately killed and dissected the python and discovered the intact body of the missing woman inside. Villagers feared more large pythons might be present because farmers previously had reported two [[goat]]s missing.<ref>{{Cite news |author=Suwandi |date=2022 |title=Sempat Hilang, Seorang Ibu Penyadap Karet di Jambi Ditelan Ular Piton 6 Meter |url=https://regional.kompas.com/read/2022/10/24/180706978/sempat-hilang-seorang-ibu-penyadap-karet-di-jambi-ditelan-ular-piton-6 |access-date=24 October 2022 |work=KOMPAS |language=id}}</ref>
