Respectfully, regardless of the species, regardless of where they are, invasive species are absolutely a problem: Tegus breeding in the wild in FL, lionfish breeding in the reefs along the eastern seaboard, feral pigs tearing up the Texas back country, etc. All of these are a problem. Denying the invasive nature of these animals does nothing to support our cause and just makes us look like ignorant, arrogant, unreasonable outcasts. Which only play into the hands of the animal rights groups that, piece by piece, are pushing the legislation to fully ban everything

Under the new FL law they now would not be able to because FL F&W is no longer issuing new RoC permits. So, whether it was import or CBB, no one could legally buy a RoC. Only people who currently hold a RoC permit are allowed to maintain those RoC permits under a renewal basis until such time as the animals presently listed on it are sold or die. No new animals are allowed to be added to existing RoC permits
