Saw this on national geographic, they think another alligator came and attacked the python and that is how the other ones legs came out of the snake.

that pic is bs. the smake was way smaller than they said. the natives said it shrunk when they had sombody come out and measure it
True, true.
That recent reticulated python was debunked as a world record. Early reports said 49 ft, which is about half the size it really was.
Decades ago, Theodore Roosevelt posted a reward of $1000 for the live capture of any snake over 30 ft. That reward has been increased over the years by different wildlife organizations and has yet to be claimed.
GameFish, if these are the pics you're thinking of, then they are a hoax. Different sources have linked these pics together saying an anaconda or python ate this kid when him and 2 buddies went camping in the jungle.
A.) these pics aren't even related. The quality isn't consistent, nor is the size of the snake. The first is a retic python that clearly ate a pig, judging from the shape of the lump.
B.) The second pic was staged as a python that small couldn't get its jaaws around the shoulders of a person that size. Also, the body would be in a little grimmer conditon if it was in the snake for even 12 hrs.
C.) If this story was legit, it wouldv'e made the news. Instead, it has only been limited to floating around on the internet where virtually anything will be taken seriously.
True, there have been documented accounts of successful predation on humans by large snakes. So far, the only species recorded as bonafide man-eaters are the green anaconda, retics , and recently the African rock python.
