The cites listing makes no difference when it comes to interstate transactions, its fine to buy, sell, etc., cites appendix 1 animals across state lines. A common example would be , Argentine Boa Constrictor (Boa constrictor occidentalis). Its when the animal appears under the US Endangered Species Act that the issues come up. The cites listing only affects International trade, not trade with in the country of origin. Captive bred animals that are listed as appendix 1 animals get reassigned as appendix 2.
