The majority of all snake species swallow their prey in one piece, but to place our observations in a broader context we review a number of exceptions. Eviscerated alive is shown here, please watch the entire clip to see how it's done.
A hitherto unknown feeding mode among snakes was filmed and described for a small banded kukri snake (Oligodon fasciolatus) in Northeast Thailand. Three cases of O. fasciolatus using enlarged posterior maxillary teeth to cut open the abdomen of a live poisonous Common Asain toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus) and eat its organs were documented. The snakes and toads fought vigorously, and the toads secreted toxic white liquid on the dorsum and neck. The snakes inserted their heads into the abdomen of the toads, pulled out some of the organs and swallowed them slowly. It is such a novel and macabre feeding strategy.

งูส่วนใหญ่จะกลืนเหยื่อทั้งตัว แต่เจ้างูปี่แก้วมีวิธีเปิบอาหารที่แสนจะพิศดาร เจาะท้องลาก ตับ ไต ไส้ พุง หัวใจ ออกมากินสดๆ จนกลุ่มงูไทยให้ฉายาว่า "งูปอบ" เชิญรบชม แล้วอย่าลืมกดติดตามนะครับ ขอบคุณครับ
