Possums are actually not mean at all. They open there mouth wide as a big threat but you can usually just pick them up by the tail and move them. They make fine pets but have very short life spans only about 2 years. I raised up some babies from a road kill and let them go in my yard and after a year living in the wild if I saw one in my yard at night I could catch it and hold it and pet it without any aggression at all.

All the animal stuff is BS and the future is going to be a very sad one for all of us I fear. I can rember seeing baby alligators at Kmart for $5 to sell to kids when I was a kid and people would drive around in there convertibles with a tiger in it now people could not even conceived if this kind of idea. In another 30 years we will rember when we could keep a snake or lizard as a pet or buy it at a show without a government permit and inspection and people will think that was crazy. We need to somehow stop this momentum before it is to late.
