I'm surprised no one really brings up the issue of locality risks.

I cannot think of a single reptile that has a risk of establishing itself in Minnesota.

Asian carp, snakeheads, yeah those should be and are already illegal here.

But if people ban burms "because they might invade us" with this bill, it's a nationwide ban, not just in the places where they pose a risk(ONLY florida).

Similarly (THIS IS TO YOU, FISH PEOPLE) pirhanas will be banned if this bill goes through. They have shown the ability to survive in warmer southern waters, but I don't think they have established themselves yet. They are illegal to own in a number of southern states already I believe.. I'm pretty sure Louisiana and Texas are among them. However, should people in the Northern states worry about "dangerous man-eating pirhanas" living through cold winters?

No.

This bill has no provisions in it for locality considerations. This is why this kind of regulation belongs at the state or county level.
