Animal trafficking is number 3 in the US for most lucrative crime. Fish and Game here in Florida doesn't fuck around with that. There are cartels that come here to the glades to remove all the turtles and orchids and sell them overseas.
I used to own a boa constrictor and remember in the early 2000's that a plethora of highly exotic and dangerous species going from obtainable to available. I then looked into how and was very disturbed. I'll never own any animal besides a dog or cat from a shelter ever again.
