I hear what you're saying but I disagree. The law is meant, among other things, to stop injurious flora and fauna from spreading via interstate commerce. That simply cannot happen with these reptiles. They can't survive elsewhere, can't colonize new areas, can't adapt. There is zero chance of them spreading. This isn't a case of an invasive species that can wreck havoc across our natural resources like a timber beetle can.

That's why it's a local issue for Florida to deal with, or rather it should be. In short it's a misapplication of the law. Federal law makers from Florida have decided that they'll deal with the problem since the state and local lawmakers apparently won't. Now everyone is going to suffer unless it is stopped. If it does pass we can only look forward to more and more laws like it being passed.
