Stop posting what you do not know. There was no rotting of the gut. The python's stomach simply burst from the hard to digest alligator.

Python Cannot digest alligator

[Salamander]

Been subjected to this 15 year old story on my snake forums endlessly.

The gator did not “chew its way out”.

They’re not sure how it happened precisely but the snake was headless when found, not dead of a gator “chewing its way out”.
