It is sad to see them disabled like that and thexpoor creatures are descended from victims of the pet trade. However, they are not native. They grow up to 5 feet long. They harm native species, devouring native plants and eating birds eggs. They threaten endangered species, a snail and a butterfly. So the state is trying to humanely eliminate them. The article linked below explains all this. I do sympathize with these colonizers because I am also not a native species, I'm over 5 feet tall, I eat native plants, and my home displaces wildlife habitat. 🦎
