Opossums?
Are 'normal' opossums available for purchase as a pet? I know STOS are and a few people have got opossums in america that have been rescued, but can we get them over here?
Lastly - has anyone got a picture of an adult STO? I'd like to see how big they get in relation to us. What is the minimus size of enclosure for an STO? Is it really the 45cm cube Exo-terra? That seems a bit small to me. How easy are they to handle? I always imagine that when the enclosure os full of things to keep it happy it would be a bugger to get out and tame down. Any info please, thanks, Ben

Yeah those! Think they are ace! I thought Rory might have some! And that seems an alright price too, not that I knew how much they might be.
Just want to know about the short tails now. Thanks, Ben
