Wanted Short-Tailed Opossums

Name: Cat Harmon
City: Parkville, Missouri
Email: casie_kitty@yahoo.com
Comments: I am looking for a young (or newly weaned) STO for companionship. I have been told that males are friendlier, but honestly, temperament is more important to me than gender. I want a sweetie! I have no preference on color. I live just north of Kansas City, Missouri and would drive up to 4-5 hours to get one. I would prefer not to have them shipped - just not sure how I feel about that.

Looking for one weaned STO as a pet, preferably from a New England source. Sex and color not important. When I bought my last one, they were on every street corner pet shop, it seemed. Now, I'm finding it impossible to find one in the area.

Comments: I am looking to buy a STO after I return from vacation. I will be back on the 13th of June. I would prefer a female STO, because I had such luck with my last female STO, she was such a sweetie. I can drive perhaps up to 5 hours in any direction to get an STO for anyone who does not want to ship one. If you have any that you think will be available near the middle of June please let me know.
