Assuming you're talking about such species as the Burmese Python - people import them, and sell them in pet shops. Some customers who buy them, do so without realising just how big they get (and thus their increasing dietary and care needs !). Irresponsible owners then simply release the poor snakes into the wild of a foreign country to their natural habitat instead of re-homing them - then complain there's a 'python problem' when one eats someone's dog ! If americans weren't so casual in their attitude towards caring for these big snakes - there wouldn't be a 'problem' in the first place !
