A selection of non-native snakes awaits buyers at the National Reptile Breeders Expo in Daytona Beach, Florida. Although some reptiles at the show are considered invasives that threaten native wildlife, it's still perfectly legal to sell them. Many buyers don't take into account how big reptiles can get and how hard it can be to take care of them, says Tom Jackson, a fisheries biologist with NOAA. As a result, many are released into the wild.
