If this snake looks a little out of shape, there's a very good reason for its swollen tummy.

It's just swallowed a pet dog, together with its collar and name tag.

Stuffed:The lump bulging from this snake's belly appears to be tragic

Bindi was a Maltese terrier like the one above (file photo)

She didn't show up for her routine breakfast at 7am and because she
was always there I got worried and went to look for her,' Ms Buntine
told the Sunday Territorian newspaper.

'I went around the side
of the house and that's when I found the snake. It couldn't move and
had its head up in a striking position.

'Its belly was bulging - it looked like a great big coconut was  inside it. I knew straight away that it had ate Bindi.

'I felt terrible - it's not very nice at all to think my little dog went that way.'
