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.
