In the first place, their jaws expand tremendously in order to swallow. They can dislocate their mandible from the skull so that it can envelope the prey. Also, unlike us, their mandible is not a single bone. So the right and left mandibles are not attached to each other on the midline.
Second, their stomachs take up a large part of their body cavity, their skin and trunks can expand tremendously, and they can fold thin prey animals (like other snakes) within their stomach. So cool.

When a snake open his mouth it becomes three times larger than its body's breadth and its special types of muscles in the starting from neck to the end of body makes the swollowing process little easy.☆please follow me.
