Wow, that's pretty hilarious and amusing at the same time. I'm surprised the python did so well against the alligator, I would've expected the alligator to whoop ass. I've kept a lot of reptiles in the past, including lots of boas and pythons, and they're generally pretty lazy bastards unless they're in the process of constricting something. Now I know the answer to one of those nagging questions...

Hmmm ok now that you've posted the pictures, that looks like a big ass python and a relatively small 'gator.

Mazzotti said it's also plausible the snake scavenged a dead gator. Time, decay and heat then could explain what happened next: a nasty blowout.

"You've got a deteriorating carcass, you've got a buildup of gases, you've got sharp claw points ... ," he said.
Yeah, I think that LAZY mofo had a bit of gas problem

Snakes aren't able to "sneak it out" in the middle of a crowded room like we are.

I can't even begin to imagine the size of the turd that would have come out if the snake would have been able to digest the aligator.

They found that down here in the swamp by me. There's a lot of exotic reptiles out there that have gotten loose. Every once in awhile a huge monitor lizard or a big snake shows up.

That snake by the way is missing the head so they don't know exactly how long it was. Something ate it.

The gator was over 6 feet for a comparison.

i heard that it was 13 feet long, and that it ate the aligator and then the alligator clawed its way out as is suffocated.
