Looks like it has been dead for a while and decomposition has set in and bloated its body.
Or…or the python is full of a bunch of other, smaller, slower alligators.
They are not ‘skinny’ snakes........................
I think the reason the snake looks bloated is because the snake has recently eaten something.
Smaller Alligators typically don’t have much of a chance against a mature snake, at some point the alligators get big enough to take on the pythons and it’s a much more equal fight.
In this case, the snake is huge, and the alligator looks pretty young.

This is what gators prefer.
They catch game, kill it, and then stuff it in a hidy hole for later.
For an alligator that’s “cooked” to perfection. Connoisseurs of French cheese would also understand.
