Looks like the gator is winning!

It doesn't look like they're fighting.

See how the snake's head is up? And the gator's arms are back? Both of those are relaxation postures. And how the snake's body is looped through the mouth, and the tail and head are both on the top-side of the gator? That wouldn't be a constriction hold. And if the snake was constricting, it would be biting too.

I'm betting the snake just saw the gator as a nice place to lay in the sun for a while. That's a risky choice of basking sites if you ask me!
