Living in Florida, I know that Burms are invasive species, But how is it that I'm looking more into it seeing that its a conditional species and were not allowed to have them as pets here...I keep seeing people with them in florida as pets...anyone have any insight on this? G. Conditional Nonnative Wildlife

Conditional nonnative species (formerly referred to as restricted species) are considered to be dangerous to the ecology and/or the health and welfare of the people of Florida. These species may not be possessed for personal use. To legally import conditional nonnative species into Florida and possess them for commercial use, research or public exhibition, it is necessary to have a permit.
