Zoo + Category 5 hurricane = Nile Crocs in the glades.
As for exotic reptiles from the pet trade ending up places they don't belong...look no further than the Burmese Python epidemic. I killed three this past year. I'm unsure if they are edible, but they don't belong in my hunting swamp.
Good update. Nile crocs and Burmese pythons do not belong in Florida. The American alligator, the Florida crocodile, the black bear, and the Florida panther are all dangerous enough -- and native to Florida.
