ya that was pretty wicked...ive read a few articles on it, one article(so this was a real article not a person telling me this, if it had been by word of mouth i wouldnt believe it), but anyway snake 13 foot snake eats 6 foot alligator, alligators backfeet/tail end up clawing their way out, cutting the snake open, & supposedly the snakes head had been bitten off by something.....??????it was in the paper, i dunno if its true but if it is how wicked is that?did he maybe get in a fight w/ 2 alligators or something, or just the one then afterwards something took his head??thats freakin dirty

I heard that a dead alligator has some sort of relfex movement in its legs which makes them move like it was walking. Kinda like in The Rock when that dead guys leg is twitching...same thing. Apparently this is a likely cause of the snake breaking open since the alligator has claws and the snake's skin would have already been stretched firm due to the gases produced by the decomposing alligator.

Yes this happened in the Everglades, it was like a 9 foor python. Problem is, pythons aren't native to the Everglades so they are over runing the ecosystem in the everglades, killing anything, including alligators and the food they eat. We also have King Cobras roaming the Everglades now.
Anybody up for an airboat ride?
