Yes, because of humans. Boas and alligators do not naturally occur in the same geographical locations, alligators being restricted to North America (and China), while boas are found in Central and South America. However boas that have either been released or escaped from pet owners have now formed a breeding population in Florida. This means boa constrictors now do have run-ins with alligators, although a far more notorious constrictor introduced to Florida is the Burmese python.
