"Why would interstate commerce be restricted on them?"
Because they are not native to the USA. The parent species, Thayer's and Ruthven's Kings, are native to Mexico. These could get out and breed with our native kings. Also since these are hybrids there is a risk that their 'hybrid vigor' may present an especially dangerous scenario.
Is this a stretch? I think so but then again I also think Burmese, Anacondas and Boa constrictors getting established in San Francisco is a strech.
