It would be illegal to take your pet with you across state lines. You may keep your pets, even breed them within the state. But any form of transportation across state lines (and naturally, import/export) would be against the law.

Part of the reason it has taken this long to add the retic (and the reason Boa constrictor spp. are still 'under consideration') is due to the massive economical impact it would have. The livelihoods of many people who have made a living out of breeding these animals will be destroyed. The hobby may persist at the state-level, but because animals cannot be shipped or transported across state lines, it severely cripples the hobby.
