It's enormous. It can feed a lot of people."<br /><br />The farmer, with the help of several villagers, forced the snake away from the cows and killed it using sharp tools in the shed.<br /><br />There was a struggle for around five minutes while they attacked the reptile before carrying it home to be cooked for dinner. <br /><br />The snake was tossed into a bonfire made with logs and it was left to cook in the burning embers. <br /><br />When the snake appeared to be ready, the farmer used a knife to scrape the scales off the reptile to reveal the meat underneath.<br /><br />He was heard saying in the footage, he said: "Four of us found it in the cowshed, if we did not kill it, it would have killed us and the cattle."<br /><br />The barbecued snake was eaten for dinner by the farmer and four other neighbours who helped him catch it.
