Wonder how big a snake must be to have a chance against a gator?

That snake is a meal, not just a snack.

That snake was a nonvenomous banded watersnake, I believe. But it certainly was a big one.

“ MIAMI – Today, Governor Ron DeSantis announced the opening of registration for the 2021 Florida Python Challenge® which will be held July 9-18, 2021. Registration is now open and members of the public can take the online training and then compete to remove invasive Burmese pythons from the wild.
“Since taking office, I have been focused on protecting, restoring and preserving the Everglades for future generations,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “As a part of my focus, I’ve charged FWC with dedicating more resources and taking innovative approaches to removing invasive Burmese Pythons. At my direction, the state has taken unprecedented steps to increase python removal, including hosting the Python Challenge annually, and expanding access for python hunters to 134,000 acres of state parks and the Big Cypress National Preserve. As a result of our efforts, FWC had a record year for python removal in 2020, and has now removed more than 13,000 pythons since 2000. I’m proud to be here today to kick off registration for another Python Challenge, and I look forward to seeing this year’s results.””
So perhaps we should give a medal to our snake-eating gator.

Python vs large snakes could be interesting entertainment.

I walk around Fenny Springs around 7-7:30am about 3 days a week. After seeing pics of snakes and alligators from others I always have my camera on and at the ready. Nothing, no snakes no alligators in 6 months.
Now, here is a pic from Fenney Springs of an alligator eating a snake. Where was I? Who knows? I'm glad I'm not trying to make a living as a wildlife photographer.
Way to go sohappytobehere!

Misunderstood, the snake is the gator’s dentist and is doing a checkup.

Stop going to the Fenny Bar and Grill before your walk, you’ll have clearer vision. LOL

They love snakes, especially large cottonmouths.
And there are lots of cottonmouths in Fenny area around Grey Fox and Red Fox golf courses.
