My question is will you post the video so me and a numerious amount of other people can see the actual fight or what u call it "battle".

I think you should meet our expectations and show us the video I think it would be rather informational and entertaining to see the royal snake battle against the mighty gator.

If u show us the video some people and I may be very happy and maybe you would acually get some more comments and questions.

Just shooting out suggestions.
