>>Incorrect, pythons cannot go into Minnesota either so yes they are 'protecting' Minnesota.
Not really.
It's much easier to control movement of animals into the country than it is to control movements from state to state. So, if you don't want animals going into Florida (or pick a state), it's much easier to accomplish that if you keep them from coming into the country altogether. Then, you add the state-to-state movement ban to try to catch the ones that are already here. But there's no customs at most state borders, so that is much less effective than the international ban. ----- ----
