It surely looks ambitious, a bit greedy maybe, but it is fascinating to look at nonetheless.
Contrary to common believe, snakes do not dislocate their jaws to eat, as they do not have classic mandibular joints. Instead there are really stretchy ligaments that connect the upper and lower mandibular bones to each other and they fuse at the back of their head. Swallowing things a whole is therefore called gaping. 🐍 
PS: I don't know which species this is, please someone enlighten me

@Yasha Oh man, that little snake sure was trying!
@trinsec I'd say it did succeed! Although digesting this will be uncomfortable probably 
@Yasha Yeah, it definitely did succeed!
I wonder how that egg will be digested. Will the shell succumb to the acids in the stomach and then just... collapse?
@Yasha Well, that answers that! :D
Followup: The snake belongs to the genus Dasypeltis, also known as the egg-eating snakes (fitting).
"They have extremely flexible jaws and necks for eating eggs much larger than their head, and have no teeth, but they do have bony protrusions on the inside edge of their spine which are used to aid in breaking the shells of eggs.
The process of consuming an egg involves wrapping their mouth around it and drawing it into the throat and then flexing their muscles pushing the egg into the bony protrusions on their spine, which causes the egg to collapse in on itself. Then the snake carefully squeezes every last bit of liquid out of the inside of the egg, ending with regurgitation of the completely crushed egg shell." - Excerpt from wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasypeltis)
