I suspect, that despite evidence to the contrary, most hobbyists don't WANT reptiles to be considered domesticated. There is a certain allure to keeping a 'wild' animal as a pet.
yes but then again if you go by the lacey act it says this:


As used in this subsection, the term “wild” relates to any creatures that, whether or not raised in captivity, normally are found in a wild state; and the terms “wildlife” and “wildlife resources” include those
resources that comprise wild mammals, wild birds, fish (including mollusks and crustacea), and all other
classes of wild creatures whatsoever, and all types of aquatic and land vegetation upon which such wildlife
resources are dependent.


but then again if you look through the many pages of documents that are online, many say domesticated for many animals which are not domesticated
