Can someone explain the root cause of this legislation?

Is it simply because irresponsible pet owners relase big snakes in the everglades which have caused some environmental reprocussions?

As an outsider looking in it seems as if all this legislation will achieve is stopping legitimate reptile dealers (breeders) from selling some species of snakes?

Because in all reality the people who realase snakes because they dont want them anymore are not generally the people who give a toss if they are "allowed" to have it or not.

Just my 2 cents.
