(#10) Hermit crab
- Paguroidea
The list of animals not allowed in Hawaii is pretty long, but Carribbean hermit crabs are one of the most interesting animals that are prohibited. No reason for the ban is listed but, given Hawaii's strict regulations, it seems likely that it's a preventive measure taken so that Carribbean hermit crabs don't establish themselves as an invasive species.
-
(#9) Snakes
Though laws on snakes vary from state to state, a few species are completely banned in the US, meaning that the snakes cannot be imported or sold. Burmese pythons and some anacondas make the list. Florida in particular has a problem with pet snakes; pythons wreaked havoc on the Everglades.
-
(#2) Wolf Dogs
Laws vary throughout the United States on wolf dog ownership; however, they are completely outlawed in Alaska, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Wyoming. Some states do treat wolf dog mixes as domestic pets just like any other dog, though; if you're curious just exactly what a wolf dog is, they're domesticated canines that have been crossbred with wolves and maintain a large percentage of wolf DNA.

(#8) Quaker Parrots
The Quaker parrot (also known as the monk parakeet) finds itself on the restricted list because it could end up as an invasive species, impacting the population of native animals. Quaker parrots can be found in the wild in New York, Texas, and Florida. In states where owning a Quaker parrot is legal, there are usually some restrictions (e.g. the bird must be banded, its wings must be clipped, or a permit is required).

(#7) Mini Pigs
If you follow a mini pig or two on Instagram, you aren't alone - Prissy and Pop have almost 700,000 followers. However, bans on pet pigs are becoming increasingly more common as the mini and micro pig trend continues.
In New York, a senator introduced a bill to legalize pigs under 200 pounds, but nothing came of that legislation. The health department is anti-pet pig, saying that pigs can become aggressive and get rabies. In the meantime, pig owners are often charged with harboring wild animals and forced to give up their pigs.
Though pet pigs may be legal in your state, they may not be legal in your municipality. Most governments recognize pigs as livestock, and most cities do not allow livestock within city limits.

(#5) Hamster
- Cricetinae
Hamsters and gerbils are outlawed in Hawaii. The Hawaiian government is concerned that hamsters could easily establish themselves as an invasive species in Hawaii, given that hamsters are suited for Hawaii's climate. If hamsters were introduced into the wild, they could have a serious impact on native plants and animals.
