Fedex is the ones that are taking it out of state but it is not like the package is leaving there care. This should not affect you by law.

Put it to you this way. If you are on greyhound you are not allowed to consume alcholic beverages. this includes you being on layover for 4 hours leaving the terminal going to a bar and buying a beer and coming back to the terminal. My mom worked for fedex and she said once a package is shipped where it goes to before its destination is out of the hands of the shipper, and reciever. as long as it does not leave that fedex facility to someone elses care you are clear.
This is something I wouldn't test though.. If FedEx happened to get hit with a felony charge, or if they find out that there is a possibility of it now, they may stop shipping reptiles altogether. Many shippers only write the species name on the inside flap but not on the outside of the box. Some boxes ARE opened for inspection. I've seen threads elsewhere about this. Why risk it? Especially since now everyone is fully aware that the package will be leaving the state. It's been posted on the reptile report before I put it here which means every reptile owner on Facebook is now aware. Which also means that if you ship a burm even within your state, you are doing it knowing that it will cross state lines during the trip. You're still knowingly breaking the law.
