Not all people are responsible with exotic pets. Python pets have already been released into Florida and are now an established species. What this will do to the ecosystem is unknown. If anacondas were released, they would become yet another non-native snake species living in Florida.

Why anacondas are escaping into the swamps of Florida?
Anacondas are escaping into the swamps of Florida primarily due to the exotic pet trade and irresponsible pet owners releasing them into the wild. These large snakes are not native to Florida and have a voracious appetite, posing a threat to the local ecosystem. The warm and humid climate of Florida provides a suitable habitat for anacondas to thrive and reproduce, further exacerbating the issue of their escape into the swamps. Efforts are being made to control and eradicate these invasive species to protect the native wildlife and maintain ecological balance in the region.
Why is pet anacondas bad to be a pet?

Do anacondas live in Alberta?
Only as captive animals. Our winters are much too cold for Anaconda's to live outdoors year round. Wild anacondas only live in South America. And Florida Everglades.
How good is the anacondas sense of smell?
Bad compared to most other snakes. Because of their natural environment and a lot of other factors of survival, anacondas urinate/excrete very often and this causes them to have a fowl odor. If not properly cared for in captivity, anacondas can be very unpleasant to have.

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.
