The snake was later euthanized because of its wounds. The boy's mother, who had been petsitting the python on behalf of a friend, rescued the toddler by gashing the python with a knife.

In January 2009, a 3-year-old boy was wrapped in the coils of a 18 ft (5.5 m) pet reticulated python, turning blue.

The snake was later found in the bedroom in an agitated state. The apparent cause of death was asphyxiation.

In October 2008, a 25-year-old woman appeared to have been killed by a 13-foot (4.0 m) pet reticulated python.

The python, reported as measuring 23 ft (7.0 m) long and weighing more than 300 lb, was killed soon after by the arriving police, who shot it four times.

The snake had coiled around the lifeless body with the victim's head gripped in its jaws when it was stumbled upon by the victim's brother.

The victim had apparently been caught unaware and was squeezed to death. In September 1995, a 29-year-old rubber tapper from the southern Malaysian state of Johor was reported to have been killed by a large reticulated python.

Among a small group of Aeta negritos in the Philippines, six deaths by pythons were said to have been documented within a period of 40 years, plus one who died later of an infected bite.

According to Buck, the python escaped, and when it was found, a human child's shape was recognized inside the snake, and turned out to be the son of the snake's owner.

In 1932, Frank Buck wrote about a teenaged boy who was eaten by a pet 25 ft (7.6 m) reticulated python in the Philippines.

Supposedly, he was swallowed feet-first, perhaps the easiest way for a snake to actually swallow a human.

In the early 1910s or in 1927, a jeweller went hunting with his friends and was apparently eaten by a 6 m (19 ft 8 in) python after he sought shelter from a rainstorm in or under a tree.

Another incident involved a woman reputedly eaten by a 'large reticulated python', but few details are known.

In early 20th-century Indonesia: On Salibabu island, North Sulawesi, a 14-year-old boy was killed and supposedly eaten by a specimen 5.17 m (17 ft 0 in) in length.

Although the species was not named, the only snake found in Banda matching this description is the reticulated python. The snake, having become slow after ingesting such a large prey, was subsequently shot by Dutch soldiers and brought to the Governor-General to be looked at, with its victim still inside. A report of a visit of Antonio van Diemen, Governor-General of the Dutch East India Company, to the Banda Islands in 1638, includes a description of an enslaved woman who, when tending to a garden on the volcanic island of Gunung Api, was strangled by a snake of '24 houtvoeten' (slightly over seven meters) in length, and then swallowed whole.

Reports of human fatalities and human consumption (the latest examples of consumption of an adult human being well authenticated) include: Considering the known maximum prey size, a full-grown reticulated python can open its jaws wide enough to swallow a human, but the width of the shoulders of some adult Homo sapiens can pose a problem for even a snake with sufficient size. Attacks on humans are not common, but this species has been responsible for several reported human fatalities, in both the wild and captivity. On April 9, 2015, the species was added to the Lacey Act list in the United States, prohibiting import and interstate transport due to its 'injurious' history with humans. The reticulated python is among the few snakes that prey on humans.
