Alligators are ambush predators and drowning is their preferred method of killing prey. Crocodilians can wait four hours before ambushing its prey. If the alligator doesn't succeed in breaking its brace neck which is easily done with mammals or birds in general. But large pythons are difficult to kill even for a fully grown alligator before the Python needs be drowned. But the Everglades' water level is extremely low during the dry season. The alligator need to find deeper waters in order to kill the snake. The alligator dragged the Burmese python through the swamp for hours. the snake becomes so agitated that it bites at anything in its reach. The Python carcass was found a few days later. The alligator might have stashed it in an underwater burrow but the decomposing gases push it to the surface. The alligator kept closely watching over prey. But the floating carcass might also attract other predators, including larger alligators. It is not fully understood if the chewing on the dead python is a conscious act or just an instinct. Yet it is clear that the alligator tries to get floating carcass under the water. The python's skin is tough to say the least and even the alligators constant biting doesn't seem to do much damage to it. With a low water level, the carcass remains visible and an open invitation for other predators to join in on the feast. These clearly seems to agitate the alligator and repeatedly to try submerging the bloated Python but to no avail. The alligator will try to find a secure location and hiding for few more days until progress decomposition will have the python's body broken down and ready to devour.
