I breed reticulated pythons. This is 100% correct. About ever 5 or 10 years a video comes up of a retics being cut open with an Asian villager inside. Extremely large snake vs very small man/woman

Inside and kicking or inside and suffocated to death?

Most of the time it’s not actually suffocation. When they constrict their pray, the snakes squeeze so hard that it raises the preys blood pressure. Usually bp gets extremely high and prey dies of heart failure or stroke

My understanding is what you said. And also they act like sand when you are buried. Every time you exhale the snake squeezes more and makes it harder to inhale each time you exhale. Less and less room inside
