The Explanation of Why Python Can Swallow Bigger than its Head

Using a series of 3D-printed plastic probes of varying sizes, the scientists tested different individual pythons with probes in increasing sizes, measuring the maximum amount each animal could open.
The largest probe is 9 inches or 22 centimeters in diameter. Only one snake was able to stretch its slit wide enough to accommodate a giant probe: a python that weighed about 130 pounds (59 kg) and measured 14 feet (4.3 m) long.
In addition, the study also found that just because snakes have adaptable jaws, not all snake species can open their mouths as wide as the Burmese python.
When biologists tested the brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis), another invasive species that can eat birds, lizards, and small rodents, they found that the brown tree snake, which is about the same length as the Burmese python but much smaller, cannot gaping as wide as the other types.
