    Down here there are no penalties @KarenSoCal , they are commonly kept as pets for those who are so inclined. Few people ever take up that challenge though I guess because of the amount of work and the huge responsibility also, the more common type of pets are dogs, cats, birds and fishes.

I checked out the link and I have noticed most people post pics before feeding to be sure it is safe, so I am going to try that myself because I am not very educated on different type...
