I don't know. I think the python stands a far FAR better chance here than against a leopard. Because, unlike said cat and some dogs, the Komodo Dragon isn't agile, it isn't going to react in a blitz, it isn't going to toy with the snake, it isn't used to seeing that sort of predator (or any predator really) - so on and so forth. But the lizard has the durability factor. And an awfully deadly bite, which can rip the flesh clean off of buffaloes. On the other hand... the lizard also has never seen such an animal - a giant snake. I believe the python would win in the right scenario, where, it's decently big and isn't petrified like they can be with other large predators. The lizard is also completely done for if it gets coiled around. So I see the Reticulated Python winning 6.5/10 times.

Just wanted to add this. Snakes' heads are also extremely vulnerable to being the 'one-hit area' for predators due to their small size. Maybe the lizard could get the head? I mean just look at this 5.2m long retic's head compared to a hand:  Sent from my SM-A105FN using Tapatalk |

50/50, but if it turns out the komodo can just crunch the python's head then GGs.

I think I favor the komodo to run in and shake the shit out of the snake like a gator would. The snake has no ability to evade the komodo dragon and its retaliations will be offset by the constant thrashing and crushing and tearing power of the komodo.
On 2nd thought I don't think this is a good matchup for the python but a big python could take this. I just wouldn't want to bet against the drag.

Or it can grab it by the mid section. Wherever it grabs, it'll be affecting the python's coiling abilities. |

Wherever it grabs, it'll be affecting the python's coiling abilities. No not if a gator can. Komodo Dragons literally never get into conflict with other predators, hell they don't even ever see another predator. Komodo Dragons also aren't very active. They kill buffaloes by biting it once on the back leg and then just waiting like five years until it dies. Also Reticulated Pythons are larger than Burmese Pythons, and are more aggressive. Burmese Pythons are also usually dwarfed by Alligators. While here, both can be similar in size to one-another. (not to mention that there's literally nothing a python can do against a fully grown gator) And good luck to the Komodo if it can get the mid-section. The snake will have already bitten and started the coil around the lizard by the time the lizard tries to bite the mid-section. Sent from my SM-A105FN using Tapatalk |

Not a dwarf. A retic might be slightly tougher (it isn't, shut up) but that's irrelevant. A komodo dragon could rip this snake open. It has tear-designed teeth as opposed to conical teeth. I think this would happen - |

I think this would happen - LOL. The gator is far larger there. Far far larger. That Burmese Python isn't even 55lb lol. Snakes look substantially heavier than they actually are. Especially Pythons. Not to mention that encounter took place in water. While Pythons are good swimmers, they aren't alligators. Sent from my SM-A105FN using Tapatalk |

Oddly I feel less confidence in the komodo than other monitors. Everytime I have seen them (including in real life, and on tv) they just seem so lethargic and slow. I can easily imagine a reticulated python wrapping one up. A perentie vs a parity constrictor I would favour every time. It's basically their bread and butter.
