So did he eat the alligator, then his skin ripped?

Yep. The python won the initial fight and manage to swallow the alligator. Speculation is that the alligator was still alive while it was being swallowed and struggled inside the python, ripping it open.

May be the alligator farted inside? The rip seems to be close to the alligator ass.

it's most likely there because that's where the base of the alligator's tail is.

That's an AVERAGE sized Burmese. They get 20+ feet. They are known to be quite gluttonous for a large constrictor and are one of the heaviest of the constrictors. The one in those pics is probably 150 lbs. (that's MY guess anyway)
Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

I've been in the presence of TWO over 20' each in a guys basement.

Truly. F*cking. Intimidating.

He used to feed them several live chickens each at feeding time and one time both snakes struck at a chicken at the same time and started a tug o' war. When this guy tried to separate them on of the snakes struck at him! He turned and ran out of the room (they had their own whole room in the basement) and he said he heard the snake hit the door as it closed behind him.

That's why he finally got rid of them. (as well as his alligators) This moron had a two year old child in the same house. Gee, I would have thought that having a BABY might have made him get rid of the dangerous animals…he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

That seems a little high. I thought about 450 lbs. was the pretty much the maximum.

Either way Anacondas are the kings. There average size is double that of the Burmese Python.

The largest recorded Anaconda was just over 550 pounds.

Dang... snake go boom!

And this is definitely cool enough to warrant being dug up from the past (before I was on the board, no less).

Really? So we should all just start recycling old stories in case someone hadn't joined the boards in time to see them the first time?

Look, I'm not trying to be a pr*ck here, really. I'm just curious.

Pythons just swallow anything, don't they?
