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.

∙ 8y agoPet anacondas are escaping into the swamps of Forida. Which is a big problem because they will eat all the meat the could find in the forest and there will be no more living animals for people to eat.

Why is anacondas affecting the swamp?
If you are asking about the Florida swamp it is because people have bought them and then let them go in the swamp. A far worse problem in the swamps is the boa constrictor and the Rock boa. These animals have taken over the Florida swamps and are eating anything they can. The population is growing and spreading. Lately they have moved into the Florida Keys by crossing on the bridges ( saltwater kills them). History channel had a program on them and if they are right the boa will spread eventually across the United States. Watch your cats and dogs if that does happen.
