Wording. It's all in the wording. A poorly written law that required that classification to make it apply to that particular lizard.

I know that African clawed frogs have been banned as a pet in many places, and WA followed suit with the CA ban, but I still find them in pet stores, usually as albinos. My point is, they call them "Albino domestic frogs" and get away with it.

The OP is stuck with a well written law in a strict state, that has a specific list of ALLOWED species. No room for creative wording there.
