You can speculate all you want, but the hard fact is that there has never been a confirmed case of a snake swallowing an adult male human. Now, it probably has happened, since big snakes can and do kill humans and they do try to eat them. However, the shoulders really are an almost insurmountable obstacle. It has been speculated that if a large snake aligned its jaws so that its nose went over one shoulder and its chin over another, it might have better luck, but the one instance we have in which a snake was definitely trying to swallow a human it had its nose lined up with the man's spine. It would take a record-breakingly huge snake or a very small adult human. Really big snakes are increasingly scarce due to habitat loss, but there are probably a few anacondas in the wild that could do it. The Godzilla thing is a case of someone applying hard science to fantasy. No, Godzilla could not exist. Not without magic or super-tech or unknown biology to support his weight. Kaiju are fun but the physics are against them.
