What is the problem with pet anacodas escaping?

They are being introduced into an ecosystem that doesn't really have room for them. They can cause local species to become extinct because they are either eaten by the anacondas or lose the competition for food. They are cause a great deal of havoc in the Florida swamps.


Why is it a problem the pet anacondas are escaping into the swamps of Florida?

There are not anacondas escaping, but there are Burmsese pythons and African rock pythons escpaing and being released. Any time a non-native species is intruduced it has the potential to cause disruption,such as by disrupting the normal food chain. Both of these pythons are very large species, far larger than any native snake in Florida, and are apex predators. This can be a major disruption to the food chain as Florida already has the American alligator as an apex predator. This puts strain on the prey animal populations. These snakes are also dangerous to us. There have been accounts of them eating pets, and an adult Burmese or African rock python is strong enough to kill an adult human. These snakes may even view children or adults of small stature as prey. Competition with alligators and expanding suburban areas means that more of these snakes will work their way into populated areas unless their populations are kept in check.
