Refrigeration mechanic Andrew Gertz came across the cow as he drove on the deserted Sandover Highway about 300 kilometres from Lake Nash Station in the Northern Territory.
"When I got closer I could see it was a sand python hanging out of its mouth," said Mr Gertz, from Camooweal, northern Queensland.
"I've seen cows with bone and hides ... I thought it might have been a bone."
He stopped to snap these photos.
The cow chewed on the snake for a while and then dropped it and moved on.
Western Queensland cattle grazier and natural historian Angus Emmott said cattle were known to scavenge on dead kangaroos and cattle to supplement their diets, especially in the red dust of outback Queensland.
