Just picture having to explain to the neighbors that dogs cats and small children need to be kept inside until further notice because a chicken eating snake is missing. Not cool.
Most anacondas aren't any larger than a retic. The issue here is not the presence of a large snake, its the experience level of the keeper. Plenty of us keep large snakes safely and healthy, but have the level of experience to do so properly.
