The man drops the chicken into the reptile’s mouth and the animal wraps its jaws around it so that only the feet and a tuft of feathers can be seen sticking back out.
But after devouring one chicken it is apparently still hungry.
It gobbles up another and another of the creatures, until it has polished off four in around two minutes.
The hungry reptile then wolfs down a large rat for dessert after a second man drops it into her cavernous mouth for good measure.
Having finally fulfilled her cravings, the colossal beast curls up to allow the chickens to make their way down inside her enormous body.
